It has been a while since I posted, so I thought I would update. My wife is on the trip I mentioned early on in this thread, and she isn't alone. OM went with her, which I must admit was a real blow. I have followed through with GAL, and have been fairly successful to this point.
There are still some bad days, especially Saturdays, as this was a day we always spent together do things we both enjoy. Attending activities at church has been great as both a time-filling activity, and has given me the opportunity to get back to something I love.
Got the initial draft of the divorce papers from my attorney today and after reading through them, I authorized sending them to her. Since we are working together, she doesn't have to be served, they just have to be mailed to her. She gets back late tomorrow and my hope is that the papers are waiting for her in the mailbox when she arrives. If everything goes well, we could be in court and done by the end of August. I am ready to move on with my life without her so I hope she just signs the papers and fades into a distant memory.
