[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's like a huge load is off, and I'm so much happier. I wouldn't have been able to stay with him if not for the kids, and we probably would have divorced after both were in college anyway.

FWIW, the separation and soon-to-be finalized divorce were DH's idea--after 20 years DH decided he wanted to ditch the mortgage, date other women (no AP, just OKCupid), use his cash for a sports car instead of the kids' college tuition, and generally just be a bachelor again. I begged him to wait one year until our last child went to college, bukt he's always been selfish and self-centered and this decision was no different. While I was sorry for our son (who was given a choice and chose to live with me for 90% of the past year before starting college last week), I have to say it's secretly a huge relief not to be dealing with DH's all-round personality problems. DH has ADD combined with laziness and a sense of entitlement the size of a house. While I think two mature people could have held it together for just one more year, for DS' sake and to give DSa stable final year in high school, that's not DH's MO.

I'm sure they are but it is still sad in a way when things end.[/quote]
