Now that I have staked my claim to #1 (adopted Texan after all), I can post a bit more. I am a bit sorry that your W did go through with the D, but as I told you before it is only a piece of paper. You can build a stronger M for both of you now that the old one is officially over on paper.
Your post-court trip was simply awesome. I really think your W appreciates you and it really looks very promising. You are right to think she may have seen the D as one step in the recovery process. I have toyed with the idea of divorcing my H so that we could start over again, but he tends to think of D as an end not a beginnig (family issues at work there).
Anyway, welcome to Piecing. This is where you belong.
