Last night and today wasn't good DBing. More angry back and forth with my STBXW. Mainly about what is fair in terms of money etc. I made the comment..."you are doing pretty good for only being with me 2 years."

She said "Two years?"
I said "Well almost three, but half of that you were either moved out or cheating on me."

I guess there was some bitterness there afterall. But we're all human.
I did go and sign the papers and dropped off the check for the agreed upon amount. So 1-2 weeks and it will be official. We did have a little discussion later. I said I still want us to be friends and she said she did too but not like things are. I told her I thought a little testiness from both of us during this time is understandable.

The reality though is that I'm not sure I can be quite the friend I was before today. Maybe I can....but I think I need to have the rest of this week to digest.

Thank you all for your kind words and support. I wish everyone a lot more luck than I had. It was something I had little or no control over. I might have done things differently, but no single setback justified divorce.

The good news is I feel good. This only makes it a little harder, but it is still possible to get back together. Right at the moment I don't feel all that interested in holding out hope or caring, but maybe after some time has passed.

Thanks all. Wes
