So was his wording in the D paperwork just a typo or is he seriously wanting you to never remarry? Is he holding himself to that standard as well? What a jerk. Consider yourself lucky to be rid of him. Please make sure your L is on YOUR SIDE!! Make sure you understand everything in the paperwork so you're not surprised later.

I'm sure most of us in this forum "never ever thought we'd be here."

I did read an interesting article in a magazine the other day. A woman had just gotten dumped by her fiance and she was sobbing to her family about it when her little niece said to her "I'm glad he's gone, he was scary." She said "No, he wasn't scary." and the little niece replied "if he wasn't so scary, then why did you act like less of yourself when you were with him."

I took that to heart. I think I was less of myself with my H and I know that I'm less of myself when I beg him not to leave me when he was the one who screwed up our lives.

When you are happy as person without someone, you are in a better position to determine whether a partner will enhance your happy life or weighs it down.
