At 8:45am this morning, my XW attended the final hearing for the dissolution of our 7 marriage. And I have no reason to believe that she did not sign the paperwork.

While this past year has been devastating on all accounts, I have taken the opportunity to reevaluate my life, my flaws, and my future to make the changes I wanted to make. I have forgiven my XW for her transgressions (and I have forgiven myself for my many mistakes) for no other reason than it's what's required to move on to my next chapter.

On a personal level, I decided to begin dating about a month ago. After a couple of dates with different women, I met a woman who genuinely excites me. We have been exclusive for a few weeks now and I already have been applying the things I learned to this new relationship.

I want to thank everyone who helped guide me to this point. I know the journey isn't over but I couldn't have made it this far without all the vets and well wishers. I'll see ya around...
