Maybe I should have dragged my feet more through the divorce stuff, just to give her time. She felt though that she was never going to change her mind and I really did need to "let go". I kept thinking she would change her mind. Maybe she hoped I would pursue or become needy, but I went through that rollercoaster many times without success so at the end I didn't try to talk her out of it. Just said, "I don't want this so don't do it for my sake. I just want you to be happy so if you need a divorce then so be it" Guess that's what made her happy.
I'll just try to be friendly but distant. I hopefully get to continue to see my step-kids if nothing else.
Well, I'll post more when I know more, but I'm kind of in limbo for now.
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. Abraham Lincoln
