It's been 2 months since my last post so I figure I'd bring everyone (those that have been following) up to speed.
The divorce is still in progress. The W got very upset when she was served. I don't know why, this is what she wanted. We are done with mediation and decided on joint custody, but the boys will sleep at my place most of the time. She gets them every other weekend and we split the holidays. My boss said that he'd work with my schedule if needed as well, so that helps.
I've done some repairs around the house to try to get it ready for sale. I have also spoken to a few real estate agents. They all agree that it helps to fix things up even if we are short selling. I have also been checking out apartments in the area. Prices aren't too bad. The credit hit with the divorce and short selling is going to put me out of the home buying market for a while.
As far as the W goes, we pretty much don't speak unless absolutely necessary, which is fine by me. I got the boys a cell phone to share so I can call them directly if I need anything, and vice versa.
Getting back to me: Yes I am still working on myself and still seeing my IC (once a month now). She's been extremely helpful through all of this. And I will probably have my youngest see a counselor when this is done. I'm still working out and going to boxing class. I ran my half marathon and finished in 2:08. I have gained most of the weight back as well.

I did tell a few people at my gym about my impending divorce and the rumor must have spread. That said, I have been on a couple of dates. Mainly just meeting for a drink or meeting for a run. But I do have a second date with someone I met through a friend this Friday. Again, nothing serious, just meeting for drinks. There is also another lady that I text with every day.
