Tal, congrats on the job offer and good luck with making a decision. Is your sister good to bounce ideas off? Or another close friend? Just because H isn't around doesn't mean you're alone.

I've never had a bad perception of D because I've grown up with it. My mom divorced my biological father because he was cheating on her and has another child six months younger than me. I know that was the right decision to make and he proved it through his actions--he cheated on and left his second(?) wife.

I do think it's too easy to get D and people are too quick to cut and run. But I also understand that there are circumstances that make it untenable to remain legally bound to someone.

I'm happy to hear you have a L. I thought you were still going pro se with some legal advice on the side. You're absolutely right about getting the best possible outcome for you.


If you love somebody, set them free.
