My short term goal is for STBX to simply delay D. My long term goal would be to just attempt R, under the right conditions of course.
D - Hope all is well with you. Been a while since you posted frequently.
Anyway, try to remember that the actual act of DIVORCE is only really the way of telling the government your relationship status. It doesnt DEFINE your relationship status. In all reality, youve already been divorced for 6 months, ya know? Delay or no delay, Im not sure the physical act changes your relationship any nor does it really change your chances at potential future reconciliation.
Ultimately, the worst has already happened. Theres nothing left to be scared of.
