I’m sorry too, JB.
No matter how your perspective evolves with time/events or how much better life gets from here (and it will if only bc divorce is a draining process), this wasn’t your choice or where you thought your marriage or old life  would end up. And that always feels a bit sad perhaps, even if everything else in life is going ok.

I remember that day (August 31, 2019) very well myself.

xW was as happy as a clam and all smiles....

It took me a while (of course, we had already been separated 3 years prior and the process had taken 2 years due to her not providing the needed paperwork so I wasn't surprised.

This is just one more thing to add to the heaping plate of poop that is MLC. 

And "Congratulations?" WTF? "Bittersweet?" Seriously?  Seems that the paralegal needs a bit of ... well, let's just say personal experience might not be amiss to allow them to acquire some empathy....  ::)

A "friend" will not "stand by you" no matter what you do. That is NOT a friend. That is an enabler. That is an accomplice.
A REAL friend will sit you down and tell you to your face to stop being a firetrucking idiot before you ruin your life and the lives of those around you.

For today's occasional installment of inspirational songs, I bring you the Johnny Adams rendition of "There Is Always One More Time."

There is almost something harder about someone being alive and having to lose what you believed to be true of them than someone actually dying.

Indefatigability - determined to do or achieve something; firmness of purpose
perspicacity- a clarity of vision or intellect which provides a deep understanding and insight

Consequences... Just got a text from ex-wife saying she just realized that her car insurance card expired, asking if she's covered until the end of the month or if she needs to get insurance now. I just told her she'd need new insurance now, didn't bother telling her that I took her off as soon as the decree came out from the court. (I'm not even sure that insurance was valid after she changed her address to a different state.)

I also happened to look at my email, and saw a password reset request for my car insurance account. Coincidence? I think not.

Yes JB.  Amazing when they realize there are consequences.  She’ll have to figure things out on her own.

HAHAHAHAHAH..... sorry JB, I couldn't contain myself  ;)

Funny how thoughts and reality creep in when they least expect it.
Well, some adulting will have to take place won't it?

It's a good thing, but a little funny  ;D

You handled that so good!!

Darn those pesky consequences.... Wait until she finds out what new insurance is going to cost he...
