Court date was this morning and everything was done in about 6 minutes. She had signed a waiver of appearance, so it was just me and my lawyer. Amazing how a 25 year relationship can be dissolved in less than 10 minutes.
We have basically been dark with the exception of exchanging the dogs once a week and occasional issues regarding our son. She contacted me multiple times this week about issues that really didn't warrant a call. I'll admit I got a little bit hopeful each time she called, but I know better.
I have talked with some women via email and text, but have intentionally waited to begin dating. I feel like I kept up my end of the deal by doing so. Now I am ready to move on to the new and improved chapters in my life.
From bomb day to D-day ended up being 86 days. Reading my original posts, it is amazing I was willing and able to push this along like I have. There is now way I could, or would, go through what john28 is going through. What a mess!
If you read this john28, get your head out of your a$$ and start listening to the advice you are being given. Detaching isn't something you do and undo every day. It is a commitment you must stick to even when it seems hard. Kind of like marriage is supposed to be.
