CLOSURE. I just realized that this is my first day as a completely free woman, as the waiting period for finalization ended yesterday. Woohoo! And to think when I separated I thought I couldn't wait a year to be divorced. Instead it took 3 years (don't worry, dear readers, this probably won't happen to you-I didn't have money to fight my ex so I waited him out. When he moved in with OW suddenly Mr. Argumentative became Mr. Agreeable-Can't-Wait-To-Get-Divorced.), but it's finally done done done!
For those of you out there just starting or still in the process, hang in there, because this feels great.

Wow.
I am really sad and loved my H so much and feel my life is being turned upside down and inside out. When i hear stories like yours it gives me hope that maybe one day, I too will be happy again. I just hope I don't have to go through this for 3 yrs. I can't imagine.
Thanks for sharing.

Hugs, Lisa. When the process started for me, I was so miserable. I couldn't believe that my life had turned into such a mess and didn't know how I could possibly start again. But now, I am much happier than I ever was with my ex. Perhaps once your ex accepts that you are following through on the divorce he will be willing to come to a fair agreement. While he may say he'll make the lawyers rich, when it comes down to it maybe he'll be concerned about his pocket enough to negotiate with you.

You go girl. I love your title. "Friends" is a favorite show of mine. CLOSURE. Does sound nice. I had a bit of closure myself over the weekend. Or more of a FINAL KNOCK ON THE HEAD the showed me there was just no glimmer of hope for this being a civil co-parenting situation. At least not right now anyway.
Good for you honey.
HOORAY
LOL, I wondered whether anyone would recognize the Friends reference. That episode is one of my faves & and the wording just seemed so appropriate here.
Hang in there, luv. I never would have thought my ex could become civil and act reasonably toward me, yet he finally has. He hasn't changed - he's still a jerk to his current gf - but since I refuse to let him get under my skin (that he can see, anyway), he's stopped trying. I hope in time you'll be able to have a better relationship with your ex.
