Good luck, Debbie. Kentucky sounds lovely. I had a horse growing up (an Appaloosa) and fondly remember those days. Please don't let your husband move to KY with you. Stand firm. You are doing the right thing. (I am kind of left to wonder, why he would want to stay in the marriage as well, as it doesn't sound fulfilling for anyone. But it is hard being the one who is "left.")

Why is a legal separation less expensive than a divorce? I thought they cost pretty much the same. I hope your legal process proceeds quickly. You deserve health and happiness. You are worth it!

How is your daughter doing? Is she grown up now, or will she move to KY with you?

Thanks for sharing your story.

Tobey and Dutchgirl, welcome!
