Met with new lawyer today. Paid retainer. She said this should be quick and easy.
Came home and said to W 'you probably think I've been blowing this off, but I had to get a new L, etc etc'
Gave her the signed custody agreement. She said 'you didn't need to pay for a L. We agree on everything'.
I told her that I was sorry things didn't work out, I know I've said and done some things I regret, and, and told her that I'm ready to get this over with as quick as possible. Also told her I'm proud of what we've accomplished the last 15 years, that we could have had a nice future together, but I deserve to have my needs met as well.
W didn't say a word, and that was the end. I feel pretty good. Looking forward to closing this chapter and moving onto the next.
On an unrelated note, my S is 13 days post tonsillectomy and still absolutely miserable. Ugh
