"I really don't mean to come off as a jerk, it's just that the house is much more pleasant since you left and I don't want you leaving any of your bad mojo behind. Have a great day!"
No kidding. She really pi$$ed in my Cheerios. I am in such a better mood when its me and the kids and no dealings with her.
Journaling:
Had my monthly meeting with my pastor; filled him in on the recent goings on. He said that it was a pretty crazy tale I told.
I told him I have a lawyer and am in the process of filling out the initial paperwork. He agreed that it was time.
He walked me through the annulment steps but said it won't begin until our marriage is officially dissolved. It takes anywhere from 6 months to a year for an annulment to go through our diocese.
I asked him what the church says about getting into a relationship once divorced. He said technically you can't even date until the annulment is granted, since you are still considered married. He said the bigger concern is being in a vulnerable state and getting into a "rebound" relationship with someone who wouldn't be right for me.
I told him I felt the same way; I'm not in any rush to get annulled for dating's sake. I really could see getting too attached to the first woman that treated me with any kind of respect.
