We had another talk last night. She now wants our current living situation to continue indefinitely, even after the divorce.
This time I did laugh. I told her that there is no way I can continue living like this. I said that eventually I will start dating again and us living together is going to complicate things.
I should also add that I had a bit of an epiphany last week. I went in for a dental cleaning and the hygienist was hitting on me. She was very attractive (think Rashida Jones), and it was quite the ego boost I needed. As I was driving home it hit me: Why am I agonizing over being with someone who doesn't want to be with me?
With that in mind and re-reading (and re-reading) Sandi2's "Newcomer LBH" thread only solidified my answer to her question about her planned living arrangement.
