Hi Kelly, He knows the separation papers are coming, because we already discussed what we should include in them. I think he was a little surprised that I took the initiative but he's prepared. Unless a miracle of transformation occurs with my h, or at the least a very serious attempt at psychotherapy, I honestly do not see us reconciling. He's been champing at the bit to get out of here for years, and I have allowed him to do as he wishes -- either stay or go -- so now he's out he won't come back.
It's sad how resigned you get to this, when your instincts are to fight for what's right. But after ten years or more, I'm just fine with him gone, and we'll be financially ok. I'm with you on te no energy for dating, tho. I also think it would only do harm with my children. (I say that as if they're lined up around the block!!!)
