i spoke with the lawyer last night. apparently she had already called. (we are using the same lawyer) and she is interested in getting divorced as fast as possible, and is willing to sign off on a lot of things and not rake me over the coals.
im 99% sure that im going to sign the divorce papers as they are written, after i have a chance to look them over. as far as i can see it this relationship is over. and it would be post divorce, plus a year or 5 until we could ever even think about reconciling. she needs to get this single crap out of her system. and im not willing to sit back and watch and hope anymore.
