JSD, And here I thought I was the philosophical one.
Quote: The reason for the divorce is that the old marriage has to end.
That makes sense in that in order to have a new beginning there has to first be an ending. And from my old coach "no pain, no gain". Independence is a strong driver, for finances and decisions in my case also.
Quote: The real reality check will come when the house sells.
Another real reality check will come when she realizes her best friend is not there for her and starts the "let's be friends" stage. The path then divides to "no" and "OK" depending if you think she is playing you or not. I went with OK. Where it goes from there can't tell you becuase that the place I'm at right now. No call or e-mail about what holiday plans she prefers yet and its only about three weeks away. Her decision, I'm not pursuing, we'll see what turns up tomorrow. RonJon
