Gee - I hope I didn't come across as being "down" regarding my marital status. I'm happy as a clam, and in no way would I want to go back. People have often asked why we didn't divorce earlier - guess we never saw a need for it, since we were content maintaining seperate households. Then I got to thinking as we both got older - if something happens to him and he passes - then I'm responsible for all his debts as long as we are still Mr & Mrs. Didn't take me long to make tracks to Family Court and file for divorce after that reality sunk in!
