Am I car-free now?

I still own a truck. My wife has her car and has moved out. She also has the truck... for now. She needs it to move the rest of her stuff.

So, am I car-free? There's been a lot of discussion about what constitutes car-free...

I do intend to sell the truck once she's done with it, then I definitely will be car-free.

I'd say you are... The car isn't yours, and it's not in your household.

I know that you didn't ask for a comment on your relationship issue, but I hope that you are taking care of yourself in this likely difficult time. I hope everything works out the best for you.

I'm doing the best I can. I took a bike camping trip over the weekend to think. Nothing like shutting off the cell phone and getting away for a while to clear the mind.

The divorce is for the best. We had very different goals. It's an amicable divorce, and we've been married less than two years. My previous marriage was 13 years... that was much worse.

I'll just marry one of my bicycles next. I spend most of my time with a bike, so why not?

For all intents and purposes, I'd say you're pretty much car-free. Good luck to you in your new, simpler, and ultimately less contentious life.

Congratulations (if that's the right word) and good luck with your new life of being single...and carfree.
