WHG: And so we file...

[workinghardguy]

I don't understand my STBX... We met last month to sign the D paperwork. That same day she went to the courthouse to file it. I even met her at the courthouse because we had missed my signature on a form.

Yesterday we stopped by her house so SS and SD could get socks and stuff to take to their dad's. I was taking them bowling and their dad was picking them up from there. On STBX's kitchen counter is sitting our D paperwork. I'll admit I looked at it, it's sitting right there. She just filed it on Monday. And technically it's not even filed because she has to either a) pay someone to serve me or b) just give me the papers and I sign an affidavit that it was served. So until that happens they are not actually filed. And there's the affidavit sitting there too.

Though this does explain why she reacted so negatively when I bought my new truck. She was concerned that the debt would show on her credit report. I told her that since we had filed for divorce we were legally separated, as that's the law in our state, and so we were legally two separate entities.

No wonder her reaction... she knew we weren't actually separated even though I fully believed we were. And even now we technically aren't.

I don't get her. Next month will be one year from bomb drop, when we would be filed by Thanksgiving and divorced by Valentine's Day.
