Divorce was finalized in October of 2018, although paperwork took a long time to finish, our actual relationship ended in late 2016 and then I announced (for about the 5th and final time) I wanted a divorce for real in April of 2017.
Shortly after that (L and I had never really been in love - I liked him a lot in the beginning but it soon became obvious from the start we should not have been together, but anyways) I struck up conversation with an “old flame”, GN. More on that later.
But I suppose the below exchange was good to have.
