Just remember, the physical act of being DIVORCED doesnt really change anything.

Point of fact: XW and her L went into court to file some kind of petition on a Monday. On Thursday, XW asked me about house refinancing stuff, and I said it needed to wait until D was final. Her reply was that it was finalized on the Monday! I actually lived my life for 4 days as a divorcee without even knowing it!

The point is that the legal part of it doesnt really mean anything. It just changes how you report your status to the government.

I understand the pain you are going through today, and I urge you to go easy on yourself. But at the same time, remember that its just a piece of paper.
