Hi oldfool,

Today, I met with a girlfriend of mine, Paula. I was telling her about my counseling session and what transpired (divorce). She just found it incredible that he rather dump the marriage than dump school. My H said that school and "us" are too much to deal with right now, so he's picked school over our marrige. I guess I hadn't really thought about it until she said it.

I still can't believe this is happening. The thought of starting over is overwhelming. I always envisioned myself happily married at 49 years old, not looking for a divorce lawyer.

Why do you think he still wants to work on the house? I don't know if I can handle just being his friend.

Take care.
