He did mention to my lawyer and the judge that once the divorce is final she plans on moving to live with Mr. Online. The house will be on the market next week to help get a start on this move. Getting this divorce finalized is the next step. > > If the ex approves the proposal I will be in great shape. I gave up some things in the proposal but so will she. In the end I think it’s a very fair and equitable proposal. I’m trying to not get too excited about it since in the past any excitement has been followed by bitter disappointment. Right now I’m keeping a positive outlook and hoping for the best. Based on how she’s acted so far, she’s not likely to approve it until someone forces her to. Staying positive is good; planning for reality is good, too. 🙂 ---

Sounds like you have an excellent lawyer there, she’s doing a great job! ---

A quick update… We were supposed to have a status hearing this week but her lawyer got it continued until Dec 13. She still has not approved the proposal the lawyers came up with in September. There was a for sale sign in front of the house for 1 day but it’s down now. Hopefully it will go back up once she’s back in the country (she’s off visiting Mr. Online again). I’m pissed and angry and worn out and ready to do anything to get this over with. ---

Oh, dear. I know it’s hard as hell to continue to be patient when someone is jerking you around and there isn’t much you can do about it, but it sounds like you’re doing all the right things, and the legal system will get tired of her bullshit eventually. I wish I could offer you some better advice or some way of _making_ her do the right thing, but all I can offer you is sympathy and encouragement to scrape together all the patience you can find. ---

I’m so sorry you have to go through all this, but it’ll be worth it in the end. You know that old joke: Q: Why are divorces so expensive? A: Because they’re worth it. Whatever happens, know that it will all be worth it to get as far away from this bitch as humanly possible. Then she’ll be Mr. Online’s problem. Bwahahahahahahahaha! We’re with you, man. ---

Sending good thoughts your way, especially with selling the house. ---
