Dday and Scidad, thank you! Oh, my friend is also divorced. I asked her about the post-divorced dating scene. She said "You will not be dating for a long time. Your kids are already stressed out and needy, if you do get divorced they are going to need your undivided attention for the next 2-3 years, you won't even have time to think about dating! But your H will, so be prepared for that." I said something along the lines of what if H decides to step up and be a connected parent, and she said if he decides that then you probably won't get divorced. He's considering divorce because he is checked out.
