We were married in every sense but on paper... Lived together 6 years, shared everything about life, our son, a house, cars in both names, all that stuff.
Understood. There is something about having that on paper though. Most states have some kind of "cooling off period" after the divorce action is filed that could be as much as a year. So it's kinda hard to close that door before thats finalized. But in your case, when she walks out of the door, theres really nothing legally binding you together.
But on an emotional level, youre right....theres really pretty much no difference.
