On a good note.. Husband texted me this morning asking how we were doing. I replied fine. And completely forgot to look back to see if he even responded, until now. Perhaps it's detachment.

Just wanted to throw some questions out there...

1. When we went to that sleazy mediator, he was saying his advice would be for us to just get legally separated. It would be easier and no real need for divorce unless one of us wanted to remarry. I don't know why he would advise this, and I didn't really get to ask. I will obviously ask an attorney this. But doing things half way seems offsetting to me. your either married or your not right? Have others here heard similar?

2. What are feelings regarding changing name back to maiden name? I no longer want husband's last name. But I don't know how i feel about having a different last name from son. Does it make things more complicated Regarding signing for him if there was a medical emergency or in school etc? Would it be upsetting to a child for them to have different last name then their mom (primary caregiver)
