No appearance today. My L scheduled a settlement conference for April 29. That gets me out of the judge forcing me to pay above what I am paying now.

Strange feeling that I'm sure you've all gone through. Sitting there waiting for a case to be called that will end a 15-year partnership. I've had to cover court cases before. I've sat in court rooms hoping to talk to people whose lives are being ruined.

My L pulled me out of the courtroom. We met in a side room where he told me about the conference and he asked me how I was doing.

I told him, not well. I still don't want a divorce. The girls don't want a divorce, but I also know the faster we get this settled the faster I can move on with my life.

Then I left. I noticed STBXW sitting by the door. Our eyes met for a second -- she looked beautiful -- and I looked away and kept walking.
