Good morning all, back to do some journaling. Taxes are done, we ended up owing, which is the norm since I underwithold every year to put the money to good use throughout the year. Suggested to w to we divide the figure she immediately agreed, no problem.

Our correspondance continues to be super friendly, she called me here at work last week, first time I have talked to her on the phone for months. She wanted to go over the figures for the taxes, final tabulation of my move(leftover security money), how our dog was doing, and how the sale of our vacation cabin was going. Very friendly conversation. She asked me if I would like to take my dog for a couple of weeks in the summer when she goes on vacation. I immediately said yes, she could have asked her sister to watch him, but she said she thought I would like the opportunity.

At the same time, she is adamant about wanting to press forward on the d, I contacted the Divorce Center(a service here that will complete and file your d app for total of $650 (only works if d is amicable) they will be sending me the first part of the app, She has said she will be paying the full costs.

As I have read here on the boards, it seems that the WAS must have the d in order to move forward in their lives, whereever that may be. As the months have gone on, our correspondance has become progressively more comfortable and friendly. I know this can change in a heartbeat, and I am not reading into it, but it does give me a measure of comfort in knowing that at least we are still friendly, which is a far cry from the stories I hear when I go to my divorce support meetings.

Thanks for listening all, hope you are all hanging in their if not thriving,!!
