Still waiting . . .

My divorce may or may not be final on 6/3, but that is the date I am holding to. What is the sticking point? We will not have a court hearing. Because of mediation, we will simply have to file the paperwork with the court. So what is the holdout? Even though the agreement was reached, jointly, through mediation, my soon-to-be-ex insists that she must get the okay from her attorney. Sigh. I suppose this is okay, but my soon-to-be-ex was the one in such a hurry to get me out of the house.

As expected, I have mixed feelings. It will be nice to get out from underneath some big bills. It will be nice to have a lot more freedom, I can't argue with that.

So what is the problem? It is very hard to break the old bonds. I had the role of caretaker with my OCPD soon to be ex for a long time, and I suppose I got some fulfillment from that. It is hard to stop that role, even when it is initiated by my wife.

The next time I post it should be from my new apartment. Wish me luck.
