A lot of things have happened since the beginning of August:
Celebrated another birthday (I think I remembered to update my signature line - but you know how that goes...)
The painters FINALLY finished their stuff on the house that we were going to sell,
Had to do some other things (new carpeting, landscaping, etc) before we put the house on the market at the beginning of this year,
Needed to sell off most of my remaining 401K to keep things going,
Celebrated Christmas (W had the kids for the first half of Christmas break). She waited until Christmas morning to e-mail me if I was going to be home so the kids and I could exchange gifts, and
put the house on the market and found a buyer who will close in a couple of weeks!
Once the house gets off of our hands, we can finally finish the sep agreement and sign it. It looks like W is going to owe me quite a bit since she still has a sizeable amount in her 401K and all of the money I shelled out to get the house ready for sale plus handling the kids' school tuition for next school year.
Interactions with W have been decent enough (we don't see each other very much - primarily phone and e-mail contacts). I do suspect based on her behavior that W is actively seeing someone (and likely went away for the weekend while I had the kids a couple of weekends ago) but that is really none of my concern as long as the kids are not involved...
