Single again timetobefree: Sorry my post is a day late...I just needed some me time yesterday...and I did it far away from the computer.
So my divorce was final by 9 AM on Monday morning. It was a very surreal experience. There were about 10 couples with an 8:30 AM court time. The judge would call up a lawyer who would in turn call up his clients. That group stood in front of the judge, answered several questions, and then the judge would ask if both parties wanted him to sign the papers today. Both would say yes, and within 3 min, another marriage down the drain. The weird thing to me was the judge never even sat down. He was dissolving marriages so fast, he couldn't even take the time to sit. :D
M and I were about the sixth couple to go, so at least I was prepared for what he was going to ask. I held it together very well...no tears or hesitation. When we walked out of the court room, I did shed a few tears, but it was truly more relief than anything. Relief that I had survived and am going to be OK. We hugged before we parted ways, and he said, "I really do want us to remain friends.' I told him that time will tell. We said I love yous and that was it. The end of seven years.
Today would have been our three year anniversary. He asked me to go out tonight but I am not sure that I should. I think it would be a bad idea, so I am really leaning away from going. However, I have not made up my mind for sure yet...
Thanks to everyone on ojar for the support and such over the last few weeks, especially the last few days. It means a lot to me. And to Fresh, thanks...you've helped me more than you'll ever know.
Take care everyone...brighter days are ahead!
Amy :)
Re:Single again devochic: Congrats on surviving. As with tonight, that's something only you can decide what is right for you. Best of luck.
