I was finally starting to feel ready to move on, until I received the joint petition for divorce in the mail...it got kicked back. We moved from MA to another state which has a 1 year residency requirement for D. That means we cannot file for divorce in our new state until June, and we also cannot file in any other state.

I called her to let her know and she still wants to go forward with everything. The law is that way so we can work things out...so why don't we try? I didn't even bring that up. She just basically said the legal aspect is a technicality-this is a breakup and things are just over. We can both move on and do our own thing until the legal part is official.

It is still just so horrifying to me that WAW is shut down to this extent. She just said that she is dropping by the house next week for a night to get some stuff. I told her that if she wants to move on and date that's fine and at first shes like "why are you saying that" but sounded like she was smiling...there's got to be an A but I just can't afford to care about it. Anyway she told me to do the same. It's just so crazy to me. The sudden change. Even in breakups people tend to linger a bit afterward because they're lonely. None of that here.

No idea where she's staying and know because of DB not to ask. I feel dispensable but know that probably isn't my fault. She thinks the grass is greener-whatever. Just need to keep up with the detaching and 180's. It's still a terrible terrible feeling, though. She says its all because the house and dogs/responsibility. How bad can it be? I do it fine by myself. Ugh.
