Not struggling quite as much

Steve, thanks for your insights and support. I am overthinking this, and will just let things happen.

Thanks LeahSue. I remember you from those days. You, like AnotherStander, always had sage advice. I seem to be one of the last of the group that got on here at that time. Most, like Joseph9 have resolved their divorces, and mostly moved on. Not even Doodler is on very often anymore! I'm almost done with my D, too. Just waiting for a response to my lawyer's suggested changes to the Settlement Agreement. It's been a long time. Because of that, even I don't check in here all that often anymore.

J9, You are a great dad, and your kids are lucky to have you in their lives. You have a lot of reasons to be proud of yourself in the way you handled your D. It will be interesting the first time you meet XW's boyfriend, but I'm sure you will handle it in the same respectful and honorable way you have done everything. Dating can suck. No doubt about it. But it can also be fun. Kids sure do add another dimension from what I was used to!

As far as a response from W regarding what I wrote and told her, we talked about it a bit, and she seemed very intrigued and receptive to it, but there's been nothing mentioned since. Certainly nothing to indicate that she'd be receptive to stopping the D. Unless and until there is some concrete evidence she wants to reconcile, I'm just going to await her response to the Settlement Agreement, and continue doing what I'm doing.
