Hey sotto thank you for checking by I am still seeing an IC I find the talking really helps

What she has explored with me is the fact that I have never lost a girlfriend partner before as my W was my first partner and I was hers the fact that we were together for 27 years I am finding it extremely difficult coming to the terms and to grasp that ...life will go on and other relationships will be formed over time.

I have been to several meet ups but ...it just is not me it is not what I ever did in the past ....now I realise that this does not mean that I should not do things differently it is just a very different comfort zone

For now I have been looking at what happens next

I need to get a legal separation put into place my W never was a money grabber and I really do not expect it to start now but I have to dot the i and cross the T

So is a legal separation enough or do I need to file for Divorce

If I go to a soliciter can we both just agree the financials

I have a feeling I read somewhere that legal separation was not enough and financials could be contested and changed at a later stage.

Anyone in the U.K. Been through this

I would be really grateful for any advice
