writes:I have been with this guy for 1 yr. He treats me well. The problem is, that his divorce (he's been separated for 18 mos.) is still not final. Court dates have been cancelled, the 'other' side is being very difficult, he has a 14 yr. old daughter that lives with her mother. We are engaged, but all of this other %#@* is holding us back. I have a lot of anger towards what is happening, and until this divorce gets settled, I feel miserable. He works 400 miles away, and we only get to see each other on the weekends. I am in a serious depression, and just need to chat with someone. I feel very lonely.Any advice???

 Be patient.Good things come to those who can wait. Do not let it affect your happiness.
Take each day at a time. Do not make a mountain of this mole hill. It will end someday. Nothing can stop you being together.

Sadly, this is the price of getting involved with someone who has not had all his problems sorted out. It can be very hard to put up with this. My own girlfriend went through a divorce that seemingly went on and on because her ex was such a nasty piece of work. Divorce can be one of the most stressful things of all. But you need to stay focused. Yes, it is dragging out, and yes it is going on. But once it's finalized, you'll have all the time in the world. Keep focused on the fact that the divorce will be finalized. And don't sink into depression, because that'll be another thing that you'll both need to worry about.
