Thanks KML and Snodderly ... it has indeed been a long and rocky road. But, I learnt a lot about myself, and how much I can take. A friend asked me if I would take him back now, if he asked me. I said absolutely not. I don't know my H. He is as much a stranger as any man on the street. Also, I've given him every opportunity any man has ever gotten, to do the right thing, but he refused. So, no more tries.
I'm hoping to see the lawyer next week (no moderator anymore), have the separation affidavit drawn up that we have been separated for a year. We both have to sign that. If he doesn't sign, then I have to wait a year. If that happens, then we'll all know what a hypocrite he is (which I suspect, anyway). I'll get the divorce papers drawn up at the same time, so he can sign both at the same time and then we'll be done. I hope before Christmas. I don't want this hanging over me when I go into next semester. My course load will be higher, and I will probably disappear into the books for 3 months.
