I too saw the D as the "end" and it devastated me, but my H said he needed the closure of the bad to start over with the new. I still don't understand that rationale, but it is what he needed and so it went through. My D was final on Aug 9th this year and I ahd been living with him for the summer, but on Aug 13 I moved back home( long story and it was trust issues for both of us ), but within 3 weeks we were dating again and neither have dated anyone else....we have exchanged keys and I am wearing his class ring so....we shall see. I know when H filed I was so mad and upset...it was very hard. I was hurt and thought that the D was to get rid of me so maybe he is feeling some of that. Don't give up hope unless you are ready to do so.....((((HUGS))))
