Sending you vibes of strength so you can make some needed changes in your life. Perhaps a word of advice? Stop waiting on him to go do things. Start making movie dates/lectures/activities/plans with others. If you can't find someone then go ahead by yourself. I actually now prefer to go to the movies alone....

May I also offer another bit of unsolicited advice and that's to set up your own bank accounts and credit cards. Even if its for small amounts - having money set aside that's only yours, and not co-mingled, can be very empowering.

You may find you don't need to actually go through the hassle of divorce and can simply move along on two separate tracks with some measure of contentment.
