Babydoll, I am just dumbfounded by how strong you are being about this! And actually, due to the timing of your H's filing of the D (HORRIFIC!) I think you are actually doing the best thing...your C gave good advice. And if you prepare for the worst and can build your life with the plan of him not there, then IF he does come to his senses one day, you will not have been left in the lurch while you were waiting for him...because you weren't.
So carry on but save a little hope tucked inside somewhere. The stats are not on the wayward spouses side when it comes to the longevity of the A. In other words, it rarely lasts. But damn it, can take a couple of years!!! arrgggh!
