Wacky - that's exactly what I did but never thought of it like that. I've had this plan for years - just wanted to stick it out until the kids got out of school (I still have twins going into Soph Yr of H.S.) I'm 55 (!) and separated two years ago, when I realized it was doing more harm to the kids to stay together(verbal abuse, etc) Life has been much more calm for all of us since then - So I guess you have to weigh the negatives against the positives in a situation like that.
Out: I LOVED your e-mail quotes - I'm sending it to all my divorced girlfriends...Wearing your wedding ring on the wrong finger - too funny!
