Looks like we are finally doing it. We've been separated over 3 years. We agree on everything, so it should be uncomplicated.
I sure appreciate all your support here. I know many of you have been through this.

The process is soooo much better when you agree. My thoughts are with you, you are not alone.

Big hugs!

XAH and I did a pro se divorce (no lawyer involved) since we had no debt, no kids and no disagreement about who got what. I did find a lawyer who was willing to work w/me just in checking over my paperwork to make sure it was complete and correct. She also advised me about separation vs divorce, which helped me w/health insurance issues. This cost several hundred $$ rather than thousands, which neither of us could afford to waste anyway.

One appearance in court in front of the judge and that was all it took for the separation. Several months later, we finalized it into a divorce.

It went very smoothly, which is not to say painlessly, unfortunately.... I hope your experience is equally as smooth.

I cant thank all of you enough for your support.

The fundamental thing that is changing in me, is the last shred of denial that our relationship is over is going away. Frankly, I had held onto hope the past three years that we could be friends. The truth is, I am still dealing with an active alcoholic who wants to move on.

In retrospect, I think I have expended an awful lot of emotional energy worrying, waiting and hoping.
