It may have been premature for me to suggest this is my last thread. In some ways I feel like the hardest part of the divorce is ahead of me, as my W and I still have to reach an agreement on the divorce terms. I'm hopeful but cautious that it can happen amicably.
And, emotionally, there is the actual final step of moving out, the feeling of which I'm sure I won't be able to anticipate. So I will be pouring out my thoughts here, probably.
Also, as I've mentioned, I don't think my MLC-W is able to fully anticipate her life ahead; she just has to plunge in and see how it feels. So I don't think the wheels will come off her ride until we're divorced, I'm moved out, and she's truly on her own. At that point, I'm sad to say, there will be some really hard times for her. That could drive her into anger or depression or both. That makes me sad. This is someone I still do care about.
In any case, I don't plan on actively DB-ing beyond my divorce. Just focus on moving on w/ my life. I do think I'll keep coming back to check on all of you friends, but I don't know how actively I'll be using my own thread.
