******************** UPDATE **************************

Well, this isn't much of an update, but I felt like I had been out of the loop here on the forum for too long. No contact whatsoever from my wife in a week. Apparently, if I don't call her, there will be no contact. I don't really know what I am going to do about that, if anything. I guess she has made up her mind and is sticking to her guns.

Met with my A today. I signed the petition for divorce and handed him $225 and left. Not much else exciting to report. I came home, set the petition on the counter and just looked at it for quite a long time. I just kept standing there looking at my name over the word "versus," which sat above her name. Never in a million years would I ever have thought our names would be on the opposite sides of the word "versus." For 15 years, it was us against the world. We were a team. A partnership. A bond that was to be unbreakable. Now, it is her against me according to the paperwork sitting in my kitchen.

I am truly at a loss for words at this moment. You guys know how long winded I am usually. But, tonight, I just don't know what to say. I am paralyzed by a stack of papers sitting on my counter.

So you can get on with your search, baby
And I can get on with mine
And maybe someday we will find,
That it wasn't really wasted time...
