More outpourings. I'm not gonna send it, but feels good to write it.
Dear STBXW, I am terribly sorry that our lives which were previously entwined have come to this disagreeable juncture. I have been hoping that you might choose to work at the marriage you committed yourself to just 8 months ago. I still find it hard to believe that we were publically proclaiming our everlasting love, and yet such a short time later are completely estranged. My time of waiting is now over. I do not wish to be with someone who does not love me, nor share my values regarding fidelity and working at rather than discarding a marriage. These are also traits which I require of my friends. Whilst I do not agree with it, I will not impede the divorce which you seek for reasons of irreconcilable difference. I understand the legal separation paperwork will arrive shortly for my signature and there will be no other action required on my part following this for full divorce to occur 2 years thereafter. I wish you happiness in your future with OM.
Reality is that which, if you don't believe in it, doesn't go away.
