For those who are already divorced: did you have to go to the courthouse at the end and appear before the judge? How was that? I guess I have to do this. I was thinking I wouldn't. Either one of the couple can do it with their lawyer. My L said if I went, she would come with me, and ask me some standard questions in front of the judge. Then it would be over.

Before I started on this path, I had this terror of going to the courthouse. I didn't really even know if you had to, but I just knew that going to the courthouse to end my marriage was not something I was capable of.

Now I kind of want to do this. It will give closure. I think I can handle it. If I'm sad, it's OK.

Things are coming to an end fast.
