It’s The Anniversary Of My Divorce!

I was on the phone with Uju a few days ago, and we were discussing something when I mentioned that it was almost a year since my divorce became final. And then it occurred to me that my divorce was final in October 2019 and we were now in October 2020.

I also did not know that the legal laws for sexing while divorcing varied from State to State. In my State, Maryland, for example, it is illegal to have sex with someone who is not your spouse, until your divorce is final. It does not matter if you are legally separated.
