I have been very excited for the last 6 weeks. Foolishly, I fear.

If you have read this blog for a while, you know that my soon-to-be ex filed for divorce in January 2007. Yes, over 15 months ago. He has drug this whole thing out with ridiculous claims and demanding his own way. In almost every instance, his demands aren’t granted and his ridiculous claims have backfired. We went to court on the 29th of February and I was told the ONLY thing we were waiting on to make this final was the psychologists report.

Since I was assured that by the 11th of April, our next court appearance, the report would be finished, I foolishly thought that this Friday would be the end. Our last family court appearance — We’d just have the 90 day waiting period and the divorce would be officially final. I was so excited. So excited I even emailed all my RI friends to meet me at a bar on Friday night to celebrate.

A very frustrating conversation with the not-yet ex this morning has me thinking I was a little too optimistic. I know we’re still going back and forth about summer visitation, but that will be resolved by the guardian ad litem and won’t affect the divorce being final. But he began hinting in the conversation that there are a number of other unresolved issues. And because he is just that type of person — He hinted at them but when I asked him what they were, he wouldn’t tell me. “Call your attorney” was all he’d say.

Ugh. I could just cry out of frustration and anger that I am still married to that philandering jerk. I just want this to be O-V-E-R.

I’m waiting on a call back from my attorney.

I’ll keep you posted on what the mysterious issues are. I’m off to pout now.
