Hey Matt, i'm sorry for all you're going through. LoisB is right, it really does get better but I know that probably doesn't make you feel better at the moment. You do have good support here, if you get a chance - check out a local divorce group for rebuilding, it really does help you to rebuild. I second that post above from Lifes Twists, let your L be the bad guy (you're going to get the blame anyway, you know this) My D went so smoothly because it went so fast - early on when the exH was feeling guilty about abandoning me I think, so he was totally agreeable, now that he's had time to think on it he's had a change of heart on the whole house thing. too late for that though. Hang in there, I feel for ya!
