I dunno, I really hope Dana's right. One of us does feel jilted, and I hope that we can move past it. I don't want to be at odds with the mother of my child for the rest of my life. I saw my parents do that to each other and saw how badly it damaged myself and my siblings.
For what it's worth, we are working on doing this without lawyers. We've been able to agree on what to do with the major issues (child, house), so I do consider that a small victory. It's painful dividing things up, and even more painful when I run across notes, cards and letters we wrote to one another in the course of packing my stuff up. But it's all part of the process I guess.
