Thanks Mimi, I'm really confused after the meeting with how to proceed. We are past the 60 day window for Texas for finalizing everything, so really all we have to do is decide who wants what and this can be over. I'm wishing I could look into my crystal ball and see if I just get the divorce finalized or keep DB'ing if I end up with the same outcome in the end. Of course I know this is really what we all wonder during the process.
Some of the things she said just seemed so weird and unrealistic to me. Such as, well once the house is sold, if we have furniture and stuff from the house we haven't been able to sell yet we can just get a storage unit. This from a woman who is pushing the divorce through, but that process of putting the house on the market and all that will be easily 30-45 more days. Why would we get a storage unit after that?? She is so confusing to me.
She also insists on keeping our joint checking account open. I'm perplexed by this as well. We each have our own individual accounts now, we don't need the joint, let's just shut it down. She said something about paying joint housing expenses and stuff out of it. I know I didn't do a good job of letting my face not react to this one, I could feel myself making a perplexed face. I was so confused why we would be paying for house things out of this joint account. *sigh
I saw a very attractive red head at church last night sitting by herself, and part of me wanted to go introduce myself, but being in this limbo is awful. Should I just get the divorce finalized so I can move on and she can feel free? Then if she chose to come back it would be because of how awesome and fun I am again, not because she's feeling the crunch of being on her own. I thought she tried to bait me into asking about her money problems a couple of times, but I didn't bite.
Any female insight on any of this?
