Don't really feel any different today. As a Catholic I still feel married, except a domestic legal partnership has been dissolved. Which is wierd because the settlement agreement basically constitutes another legal contract. It's amazing; I really feel no different.
The session before the judge went really quickly. He asked me only one question, and W just a few more. Standard stuff like: "Do believe MC would not help?" or "Are you certain the M is irretrievably broken?" etc.
One question W stammered around was, "why?". But in the end the judge signed off on the D.
Afterwards I offered a handshake to W but she came at me with a teary embrace with the words, "you're a good man." Didn't know what to say so I blurted, "You're good too." You know, she hasn't teared up since back in October when she was letting me down easy like. But this time I was strong and confident.
Other than that, it was just another day.
