You should start med school right away! You'll learn how to perform a literally-ectomy on yourself and fix that annoying verbal tic. Is there a figurative way of putting off med school that is in common use? No? Then, "literally" adds nothing to that sentence and just wastes space. My question is: Did he get some?

You know you don't have to actually wait for the divorce to stop living together, right?

Once you file for divorce, at least in a “no fault” divorce state, there is no practical reason that either of you has to act like you are still married - It makes no difference. I cannot imagine continuing to live together once either one of you decide to get divorced - It never works out well when one of the soon to be divorced decides to start (or continue) dating and the unhappy couple are still living together. I understand that sometimes the cruel realities of a jointly owned home and not enough money to live separately cause couples in the process of separation or divorce sometimes to continue living together. But it’s never a happy time seeing your soon to be ex dating. When it’s over, it’s over and time to make a new plan.
