Thanks, gunny, jb, others

No question my STBX is strongly influenced by the OM. This is a classic rebound...she has been plotting a new life with him for a number of months, if not longer. From an outside perspective, this is a train wreck in the making, but I am powerless to help her.

Right now all I can do is provide whatever support she will let me, and let the D move forward. I am trying to avoid getting hit with major spousal support, which she said she would not go for, but, in the mind of the aggrieved WAW, who knows what will happen.

I am curious as to whether she will ever look back, or just wants the papers signed so she can move forward and leave our R behind as a bad memory. So sad, when the vast majority of our R is good memories.

It is 2012. Time to move forward and not continue to be mired in the muck. She is on her own, and I just need to get out of the way.

Hope the new year is treating all of you well. Going to be a good year!!!
