Hey Mimi, you are a night owl indeed judging by the timestamp, how's the overnight job treating you these days? Find anything else to transition to?

I'm doing well, thanks for checking in. No news on the divorce front because my L got married and is on her honeymoon until sometime in March.

I closed out the joint account yesterday and sent her her half of the funds. She never switched her disability and life insurance from the joint account to her individual after repeated requests to do so. So I just zeroed it out, and sent her the proceeds. Now she has no choice. I didn't do this out of spite, but she continues to use marital assets for things that she agreed to pay on her own 4 months ago. No more Mr. Nice Guy!

Anyway, I've been dating pretty regularly here, seeing three different women who all know the situation. Keeping it PG with all of them of course as I'm still technically married. I think your concerns about not finding someone as a 30 year old soon to be 31 divorced woman are understandable. I doubt you'll have any issues though, you should ask DJ man out! What have you got to lose?

The three women I'm seeing are very different, one is divorced, no kids, married for a short time to an alcoholic. One is divorced with an 8 month old (who is adorable and loves me) but she is very conflicted as her divorce is really recent, so we've decided to maintain a friendship for now. The other woman is one I met from a meetup and she's very private. The other two are very open. Anyway, they enjoy going out and good conversations at this point, and the adult interaction for me is good versus just talking to my dog!

I wish you the best as you move forward. K-love's word yesterday was Proverbs 4:25- "Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you." and today's I also found pertinent Proverbs 4:26-27 "Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path. Don't get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil."

We can't choose the paths are WAS put us on, but we can just focus on maintaining the changes we have made to ourselves through the process and embrace those as positive outcomes from an otherwise horrific situation.
