So it looks like (at least for now), we won't need to resort to litigation to dissolve the marriage.
That's really great news, because a prolonged court battle can be even more miserable than BD!

And I'm excited that I can start looking around my house and make decisions about how I want to change/fix things.
That was something I started doing right away- making the place mine. I did a lot of painting and swapped out ceiling fans and blinds and such. It helps to do things to make the place "different", tends not to remind you of your W as much.

Of course you were, that's totally normal. I doubt it ever goes completely away, I still feel some sadness over the loss of my M too (5 years post BD). It's kind of like the loss of a loved one, you never forget but you do move on and find happiness again.

So onward and upward. Tomorrow is my last day of work and then the kids and I are off to the beach for a week.
