Keep Wearing Wedding Band? [Thread #8]

[ForGump]

Jeep-- yes, there is support. I researched everything on support, property division, and parenting, and am peace w/ what I offered. And am happy to report that my W and I agree on it all. It's equitable and decent, I believe. And we did it in an amicable way. It remains to be seen how well she will manage her life w/o me.

CT-- funny, I'm also a pretty visual person, so I've imagined you and your situation, and when I have the images of you blend and weave with images from my own life, and the pain you've felt is searing at times. But I bet if we were ever to actually see each others' lives, they'd be very different than imagined. Life is just complicated, and interesting.

My plan: move into my new house on March 1. Will have a "big talk" with kids several days prior, so that it's neither a shock nor the anticipation is prolonged. My W and I will also file judgment by the same date -- and there is a checkbox saying we both agree to the terms -- and AFAIK the court will rubberstamp the divorce.

I will take my ring off on February 28 when I go to bed.
