Hi Sandi, thank you for stopping by and saying hello. I saw your post earlier, but figured I'd wait to reply until I had something else to say.

I definitely am proud of him, and recently am very impressed also. he was the child of a helicopter mom, regardless of what I said about him needing to take responsibility for things to learn how to be responsible, she would do everything for him, even to the macro of answering questions others would ask him. Anyway, after her transformation into this new person, she doesn't do anything with/for him and he has shown the maturity to handle things himself. He is currently applying for university's and scholarships on his own, I talk to him about it, but was concerned about him actually sitting down and doing the work, but he let me know he's submitted applications now.

Well, anyway, I figured I'd stop by with an update. I wasn't going to follow up with stbxw about filing the D paperwork, but I updated some of the pages with her new address and ended up asking when she is planning on filing when I emailed the updated forms. She hasn't responded as of yet.

The reason I ended up following up was because after having a few drinks last weekend, I went onto a dating site and added a profile, which is a first for me. My M ended 1 1/2 yrs ago, we have been separated and havent' talked in over a year (other than texts about son or D paperwork, and I've seen her once when I gave her the D paperwork) so I didn't think to mention the whole "legally married" thing.

Well, I got quite a few responses from my profile, and when thinking about responding, I found myself at a loss of how to handle things. Do I mention being legally M in my email response, or do I wait until meeting face to face and opening up with that, lol. Yeah, I am not sure how to handle that whole thing, but will probably mention it in my written response and see where things go.

My preference has always been to meet people naturally, see who attracts my attention, and pursue that person. But I've been in my town for 8 months now, and I have not met anyone who has attracted my attention, well, a couple I didn't meet attracted my attention by their looks, but I digress. I'm definitely not looking for anything serious, but I'm trying to pursue ways to meet new woman and pick up my social activities.
