Just wanted to give you an update on your sitch. Many of you have reached out to me personally to see how I was doing and for that I am grateful. The one common thread within this community is that everyone here has character and integrity.
Since I split with my W for good, life has never been better. Having her claws removed from my back has been the best thing that has happened to me in a very long time. Now that I have had some serious distance from my spouse, I realize that she is not a very good person, I will spare you the details. Many of her friends have approached me and let me know that divorcing her is for the best and that I can do much better. I was absolutely shocked by some of the things that they told me. She is evil.
So today, life is good. My divorce is almost final, my social life is awesome, I sleep better than ever and my new relationship is solid. The girl I am dating is the exact opposite of my spouse. She is warm, loving and has tremendous integrity. Her family, who I have known for over 7 years has also been VERY supportive of our relationship.
I now live in the moment and enjoy the present. I spend little time thinking of the past or contemplating the future. I take life one day at a time and have re-learned how to enjoy simple moments such as grabbing a slice of pizza with my new chick. I could not do that with my x.
So... my message to you is that life will go on whether you reconcile or not. For some of us, we will get divorce, learn from the sitch and move on to lives that are far more fulfilling.
My D is well, but until the divorce is final it will be very difficult for us to spend time together. I am committed to repairing my relationship with my child once business is settled. Trying to do this today would just put her in the middle of a very ugly sitch. I know long term, things will be very good for us. My new girl has offered to take an active role in helping me restore my bond with my D. Personally, I feel that she will be a much better role model that my x.
