AQScott says,

Consider yourself fortunate...mine was paved with a lot more than that...

Level1 says,

better that then roiling rage....

Dragonflower says,

Better than outright evilness.

DukeRaider says,

At least rage and evilness are emotions which suggest, in some capacity, you're still thinking of the other person. Indifference I think is worse. But I could be wrong.

Loon says,

sad truth

Dragonflower says,

Divorce is difficult. Period. I don't think I could go through it again. I wish you strength and moments of surrender.

Indifference, or being ignored, is always hard because it implies you (the global you-not you-you, DR) are not worth the time. I was thinking that in the grand scheme of divorce fighting, indifference just seems less painful, but, you are right. It is not. It is the same. Hearts have been broken.

I am really sorry for what you are experiencing.

lillybrook says,

So sorry DR; this is a sad truth. Best to you as you move to a place without indifference.

DynamicDbytheC says,

I heard an expert speak. He said that partners who complain and fight are still emotionally involved with the other person. But when they are indifferent, especially women, you are in trouble. He said that the partner, often the husband, will get taken by surprise. They are happy that the complaining/bickering has stopped and they think that means that everything is fine. But the quiet means she has given up on you. Sad.
