I don't know much about the process, but I thought the papers can't be served by the spouse?

I think it's great that you're thinking positive and you're able to see that you will be fine and will be able to move one and have the family you want.

I feel fine by my self as well, the only time I am reminded I am alone is when I see another couple or usually if I see a beautiful woman I will automatically look at her hand to see if she's married, if there's a ring wonder about their marriage, sometimes I say a little prayer in my head that all is well and they never experience this pain...If she doesn't have a ring, then I feel less "alone" in being single lol. I didn't do that before I was in this D sitch.

I have down moments at times, but they only last for a moment then I'm right back to being just fine. I think it's totally up to you how you will continue to feel as you go along this path.
It sounds like you've been doing pretty well, so whatever you're doing keep going!
