I haven't posted here in about a month but I have been reading and getting strength from the rest of you. Well, I finally filed for divorce today. After four months it's about time. My stbx met me there and we filed uncontested divorce forms. I guess I'm lucky that he isn't fighting me on anything. He still wants me and the kids to have everything. He is only taking his car and his individual debt. Everything else will be mine. Like I said before, I think it's his guilt for having an affair. I'm just thankful he hasn't changed his mind since we separated.
I have to say, there were several times while we were sitting in the attorneys office that I actually had a lump in my throat and thought I might cry. I didn't...thank goodness...but it surprised me a little. I know I was ready for this but I'm having a hard time. After 13 years together, I never thought we would end up divorced.
Anyway, I just had to share this with anyone who would listen. Thanks for being such wonderful women, and for unknowingly providing me with so much strength. Good luck to all of you who are going through such a difficult time.

Welcome to the board. It sounds like you are on the right road given the situation. I look forward to seeing more of you on the board!

HUGS! I would say, out of everything I have gone through, actually filing the papers was the hardest part. It is very emotional. I also received a tremendous amount of strength from this board which was the final catalyst in me getting up the nerve to finally file for divorce after YEARS of wanting to.
Filing the papers has started you on the road to recovering yourself and your happiness. It is bittersweet, but in the end, it will work out for the best.
Yeah, its never easy to actually fill out the forms and file, etc... Congrats to you for not shedding those tears (at least there in front of him) and maintaining your composure...
Sending lots of hugs to you... Keep us posted!
