All treats for this Halloween. someone: Happy Halloween. Today is the FINAL day. Its been 60 days since my wife first filed for a divorce, and around here that is the end of the grace period. Its been a really fun trip and I do wish that everyone's experience could be as painless as mine is. I don't mean that there was no pain. At first I was ready to kill myself and then I came across this board. The light at the end of the tunnel that showed me that 'it will get better'. Those famous words that seem to echo in your head regardless of how closely you hold onto them. We deny ourselves that truth as much as we deny the fact that our loved ones have moved on.
I read probably every message on this board and realized that there are just too many screwed up people out there to even worry about what I was going through. No kids, no health problems... no huge amounts of debt to crawl out from under. Just love that faded, or was never truly there... its really hard to get my hands around that answer and I don't think I will ever truly know.
My grieving period was over in a week when I found out she was sleeping with a good friend of mine. What a classy girl. My divorce was uncontested. We got together and agreed on the terms, split up the assets. No lawyers. I downloaded the forms and we filed them together at the city courthouse. Circuit Court 3 to be exact. I should have hired a professional photographer and replaced my wedding pictures with something that actually means something to me. She took the car and after some protest and cajoling finally 'quit claim deed' the house to me. After all I was paying the mortgage still and fixing it up for the sale, might as well get my money back from the deal. There is some question of about 3.5K in debt that she has promised to pay to me, but I have serious doubts about that one. If she does give me the money, I'll probably make a trip to Vegas with that money... it would be the same odds as winning the lottery in my eyes.
I now live in California... picked up and moved all my stuff. i got a new job, new house and have started the long process of making new friends. I enjoy living alone so far and doing whatever the hell I feel like. I get to ride my bicycle near mountains, the weather is fucking awesome and my new place is pretty swanky. Now if I was just 8 years younger... Oh well. I give it about 5 months before I meet the next woman who is going to rip my heart out some years down the road. Rinse and repeat. :)
