Pio - the fact that you can't drive Gemela away despite your witheringly best efforts should actually count for something IMO.

Beth... if your M is over except for the technical stuff.... I would say start dating if you want... just hold off on the sex for a while. Be fair to whomever you date... but really, if the is NO chance at you getting back with your WH... your life does not need to be put on hold for a legal process. Just MHO.

I will try and find the Harley quote I alluded to. I am not making the 1 year for 5 up. Beth you are nowhere near ready emotionally for a new relationship at this point.

This post is just too fast. Maybe if we all give it more stars it would be easier to follow-up...

witheringly? Okay, for the most part I generally try to ignore you but now I'm really mad. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> there is nothing witheringly...withering...withering(ly?) about my best effort! AND WHY CAN'T YOU CHOOSE A WORD I CAN CONJUGATE!!!!

Pio, you are being disingenuous.

As if you didn't know that you can be withering.

Yes, it was the braces/ boots story. I liked also the lack of self-pity in it.

Oh and in some southern states a court will consider dating before divorce as adultery.

Do you mean southern states in Oz or the USA.

Here if you are LEGALLY separated you may as well be divorced. All the same rules apply as divorce and many people date AND live together whilst legally separated.

Referring to the USA of course.

The fact that many people date and live together while separated is irrelevant. Doesn't make it right Jen.

I know that BigK. LEGALLY separated here, as I said before, is a very binding arrangement. It's a whole different ball game from just being "separated".

Hey BigK,

G-Day! Just knew you would have an opinion for me! I actually did say that I refused the offer to go out on a date. I know that I am not ready but I wanted TKO to have a discussion on the matter of waiting or not for D. I haven't quite decided where I stand yet. I'm glad the discussion has begun. Thanks!!!

Beth

Pio,

My son broke his toe and when I took him to the ER room all they did was tape the broken toe to the toe next to it. It gives it some support and keeps it straight. Also ice and elevate. Hope that helps a bit. Wish I could as easily help with your R but I don't have any successful experiences in that field.

Beth.

Hello Mkeeverydaycount,

Love your posting name, it's one of the motto's I live by now. Also, thank you for replying to my question. I really hadn't given the matter any thought until I was surprised by an invitation for dinner. I shuddered when I read BigK's post about waiting a year for every 5. My goodness that is over four years I'd have to wait. I will have to give this a lot of thought and prayer.

Thanks again. Beth
