My divorce was finalised as of three thirty this afternoon.
All in all, everything went smoothly and without any problems. It took place in a small courtroom filled with only two other couples and several individuals appearing without their soon-to-be ex-spouses. The judge was moving through the cases quickly and efficiently, but it still took a while to get to our case because of alphabetical order.
My ex-wife was in a pretty good frame of mind, confiding in me that she was relieved we were finally getting this taken care of. I was relieved she showed no signs of the depression she was in when I spoke to her two nights ago about some financial problems she had encountered with the mortgage and property taxes. She told me before we entered the courtroom that she was taking care of that on her own, another relief to me.
I’m not quite certain what else to write at the moment. It is still sinking in that I am divorced. I am relieved and happy that I can try to have a sane and stable life again. And I am sad that the marriage ended the way it did, that it came to an end at all. But it had to. Things couldn’t go on the way they were. We both knew it and accepted it.
So there you have it. I am closing that chapter in my life and moving on…
Just thought I’d share what is happening in my life.
