DIVORCE

May 16, 2014 23:38

I have an ex-husband. It's finally official. What started four years ago when J and I were having major issues with communicating and our marriage changed, when he pushed me and M together and when I fell hard for her packed up and walked out, when he started seeing his current gf and it became clear that we were permanently separated and there was no hope of reconciliation is finally officially over.

I went and filed for divorce in November. Then we had to wait 91 days and I went and filed the last of the paper work....and then got it rejected twice.  The official decree of divorce came in the mail today.  I am no longer contractually or legally bound to J.

Emotionally, I feel nothing. I let my heart break and heal a long time ago. I made my peace, did my forgiving and said good bye to that relationship. It's been done and over for quite some time.

I'm actually kind of excited. I ended things with M over a year ago, I've been on this spiritual journey and building and strengthening my relationship with God for over a year now. My custody, while not exactly what I want, is working for all of us for now. The boys and I are in a really cool place in our relationship. I'm almost done with school and my goals have changed a bit but I'm still plugging away and still have that 4.0. Life is good.

I'm happy to have the closure, the finality of it all. The, I dunno, permission to move on. To focus on what I want in my life, to focus on what God's got in store for me.

It's gonna be big. And now that I've done the next right thing and closed that chapter, i feel like I'm one step closer.

Divorce is usually seen as an end. For me, it's a beginning.

rl stuff, nextrightthing, divorce
