BG,
I am learning as I go. Even if you filed, the other L almost always files a counter suit. I had once thought if I took my application for dissolution off the table it would buy me more time. If the other side files a counter it the D keeps on rolling no matter what. Thought I'd clear that up.

You are 100% correct about his happiness is within himself and not through you.

You are not pathetic for going to xxx. We are all human and still have needs.

I can also empathize/sympathize with you about looking at other people. I think it's because I am hurting that people who I used to think were average all look hot now! That's another reason I need to be wary of any new R. Going through a D and wanting companionship is like putting beer goggles on.

Don't beat yourself up too much. It's a stressful time and we all just do the best we can.

Chuck
