Currently Listening III By Joe Nichols Should I go home or should I go crazy? see related

Ad interesting turn of events has happened; I'm still unsure whether they're good ro bad, but ultimately I think they're good.

Reed and I talked on Sunday morning after church. He said he'd gone to his bishop about us, basically wanting to get a fresh perspective on our situation considering we both have strong feeling for each other. And as suspected, his bishop has said that us having a friendship was not a bad thing; however until the judge signs by papers saying I'm divorced then we can have whatever relationship we want.

When we talked, we decided that his really changed nothing, we could still see each other, cuz friends see each other. We could still hold hands and cuddle....cuz friends do that, kinda. But anything more would be crossing lines.

To be honest when we talked that morning I found it a very depressing thought; but the more I thought about it I decided it was a good thing. And here's my thought on it: We were thrown into a situation by God where we found pretty much someone we could envision having a life with. Then to make sure nothing was rushed and ruined in the beginning, He set up a minor roadblock with legality issues with my divorce. That way we're guaranteed to have a good, strong foundation for whatever our relationship turns into.

So now I'm just riding on my lawyer to try and get things done quickly because its not just dating I can't be apart of with not being divorced. I can't be apart of certain church activities, and everything my ex reneged on after we separated, the companies are now coming after me because we're not "legally" divorced.

So I want to get this all straightened out soon, because I don't want to risk losing Reed.
