You don't know how much I needed this thread today. I am going to FINALLY file my divorce papers tomorrow. My situation is very similar to Jadiaz, including the soul mate part.
In fact, the ex is still in the house (it's a two family, though, separate apartments, supposed to be good for the kids). We've been separated for two and half years, and I have been waiting for the last year for him to accept that divorce is inevitable, and to file a joint petition with no lawyers, just us two rational adults working out the end of our marriage the same way we worked out the beginning.
No go- in fact he is threatening to go for sole custody. That threat has paralyzed me for a month. But last week I went and got my paperwork. Tomorrow is my morning off, and I am starting the week with a giant step toward freedom.
So, thank you for this thread just when I needed it, and for your stories of triumph.
