Hi Sunny - i just reread all of this thread and again thank you for journaling even the mundane because i'm right there with you! The dramalessness, the yardwork, the occasional hatred, the finances.

I spent all yesterday moving the needle a tiny bit further on our financial separation... Ta da! A decision on health insurance! Took all day. No one could possibly want to hear what i go through, except this magical place. So you saved me all that typing by writing a lot of my same thoughts here and getting some great advice!

When do you have your next step in the process? My next step is to work out with h an understanding of our living expenses and then go for 2nd meeting with our mediator.
