Yail, Thank you so much for the advice. I used some of it verbatim when we talked tonight. We are going to try and work through the process of D together and plan to sit down tomorrow evening and crunch numbers to come up with a plan for moving forward. I'm not sure about finalities on the house yet, but it will either be hers or mine with a fair buyout. We agreed neither one of us want things to be ugly and we agreed to treat each other with respect in working out the details. I'm going to continue to read and re-read your post before discussions tomorrow night.
May, I can't tell you how much your words help to lift me up and give me hope. Tonight is hard. I can't stop the tears but I know that I will get through this and onto something new. I also know the pain I've lived in for 2 years has a shelf life nearing its end. It's so hard to face this without fear. It's so hard to let go of the future I had dreamt of for so long. Scary and weird.
Any advice from peeps that have had to navigate D negotiations are welcomed. Also, any sort of levity and happiness are much appreciated ha!
