Today, my wife and I filed for divorce. For those who I've talked to about this, thank you for helping me get this far. For those who I hadn't, my apologies; it's not something I particularly liked talking about.

If things go as scheduled, we'll have a hearing in about a month, become formally divorced in two months, and irrevocably divorced in five months.

To echo what I said on IRC, I'm sorry that things worked out this way, and I hope that the change will bring improvements and peace to both of your lives. If there is anything I can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask.

Ditto, except for the part about IRC, of course.

And I'll gladly spend time with you (sauergeek) and not broach the subject, if you'd like that.

Thanks!

[sauergeek.livejournal.com]

Thanks. The best we can hope for is improvements & peace; my main hope is that we'll both end up in a better situation than the rather dismal one we're in now.

i'm sorry to hear that the both of you are going through this.

It's been coming for a while; this is the final step in finishing the job.

...if the username is unfamiliar...

Aha! Another LJ <-> person mapping made!

I'm so sorry. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

[sauergeek.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

I am sorry to hear that. I hope you and Eri are each dealing with the process all right; it is not a pleasant experience even when amicable, but I am sure the friends you need for support will be there if you ask. Take care.

[sauergeek.livejournal.com]

We're mostly dealing -- and while it is amicable, you're right, it's not anything I'd call pleasant. Thanks.

*hugs*
If you want to talk about it, or not talk about it, I'm here.
I'm thinking of you and wishing you peace and happiness.

[sauergeek.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Hugs are a good thing.

I wish I had something useful to say - I don't. But if you need a distraction I know a group of people ready to put off their usual work and play games for hours and hours and hours...

[sauergeek.livejournal.com]

*snicker* And weren't you the one just griping about that same group of people giving you even more timesinks than you have right now?

[rhysara.livejournal.com]

Yes but it was happy contented griping...

Whoa, apparently I am very very very behind on the boston gossip. (Or you've done a very good job of making this not grist for the gossip mill in which case congratulations.)

My best wishes to both of you: may this be as quick and painless as these things ever can be. :/

Or you've done a very good job of making this not grist for the gossip mill in which case congratulations.

I think I succeeded in keeping it out of the gossip mill. I didn't talk to many people about this.

My best wishes to both of you: may this be as quick and painless as these things ever can be.

Thanks. That's what we're hoping for too.

Suck.

[sauergeek.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I wish you strength in your time of trial.
