In my situation I was in limbo for about 2 years. I remember one night we were at a fire with friends and my ex mentioned doing something big for my 50th birthday. At the time it was 2 and a half years away. I was so relieved to hear that and it made the rest of my night. Needless to say I was divorced on my 50th birthday (though my ex was the first to text me happy birthday lol).
Like Steve said "you can't let any statements effect you emotionally one way another". I lived that life and being divorced is 100 times better.
