go for it! it makes sense if wanting to take the plunge and get more serious/official with someone else is what finally acts as the catalyst for divorce. he's currently dating but is old man cagey about the subject. the bigger issue he's struggling with lately is whether to sell their house, which he's been staying in alone (excluding their son's occasional visits) and is entirely too big for one person + cats. it's another thing they can discuss and figure out how to divvy up together.
