I still have a lawyer on the backburner and if I do see anything even remotely shifty I'm pulling the trigger on it. He was apparently only able to just get a lawyer or maybe an aide to just look at his packet and make sure it's filled out correctly, not for any representation or legal advice. Could he be lying? Sure. Like me, he's not particularly good at it. But I'm still preparing all my documents and evidence, etc. to have on hand. Got our court date for September 22nd. Hopefully it'll be the only one we need.
Hope he doesn't show up with a lawyer and you don't.

I hope it works out relatively smoothly for you.

Don't be dumb - lawyer up.

This

I was sleeping on my sister's couch, 50k in debt, paying all the bills, and I had a domestic charge I was currently fighting. I had way less than you, and I'd still get a lawyer again.

Get a fucking lawyer, or spend the rest of your life wishing you had

I don't know how this stuff works. If he shows up with a lawyer day of, will you be able to postpone it till you get one?

I for one vote no lawyer. Going in blind and hoping for the best is always the way to go, especially when its just the rest of your life on the line.

12th anniversary today. Staying in a small house cabin with the wife and kids.

Pretty perfect minus my one kid puking everywhere.

Why are divorces lawyers so expensive?

Because they are worth it.

Well, some good news. Husband got an apartment and I think can start moving in on the 1st of September. Decent place and the price wasn't too bad, either. Also plenty of windows for Bruce to get his cat TV from and buffer spaces on the entrances so no worries about him door dashing. He seems legitimately excited and optimistic, though he's nervous having to do everything himself, of course. It's in downtown, too, so he's in walking distance to some decent spots for eating and there's even a speakeasy right nearby (he loves prohibition history and shit and supposedly the bar that's there has some ties to Capone).

I feel like I'm sending my kid off to college, heh. Whole experience should do good for him, I hope, and of course now I can finally have the house to myself and start focusing on what the hell I'm going to do, I guess. It'll be a relief having him gone, at least and maybe will clear up my dumb brain to start working on more of my own problems. Either way, one step closer to this all being done.

Yeah, it's a whole lot easier to get dudes to come over and bang your brains out when you don't have that weiner hanging around.

Good riddance!

The first paragraph sounds like you’re talking about your kid. Then I read the start of the second paragraph. Ya.: 🫠

Yeah, doubt this is gonna be happening. I feel like my friends and everyone else are a lot more optimistic than I am about getting someone new.

Yeah, don't even think about it for now. Get right with yourself. Everything else will fall into place. Take care of you.

Mr Right, yeah thats going to take some work and you should be selective ESPECIALLY with your self esteem concerns. My Right Now? Well thats in the bag if you want that. Just keep the body count as low as you can until you are ready to get serious again.

Shouldn’t be hard to do. My body count’s a whopping 4: 1 husband, 2 LDR BFs and one friend I liked who was still a virgin at 30 so his friends basically bullied him into sleeping with me to get him over it and then he never spoke to me again. Very good for the self-esteem. Shit, I don’t even know how to kiss properly, I’ve had so little experience with it since the husband would mostly actively avoid kissing me on the lips.

The idea of trying to even put myself on a dating up scares the crap out of me as all I can think of is the last time I put one up on OKCupid and got one message in three months, which is how I ended up with the husband to begin with since that was the only option I had. Not really sure I can handle that kind of disappointment again. What do people even use these days, anyway? What the hell would I even write? I guess those are questions for the dating thread which I suppose I’ll be shitting up sometime in the future once all this is finalized.

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.

Doesn't need two hands and neither does yours if you are thinking about swiping right.
