Tonight my lawyer called. All the agreements are now final. It’s going to her lawyer tomorrow and I expect she will sign the document before the week is over.
My lawyer asked her lawyer what she said about why she wants to divide the assets this way (in my favor) and apparently she told him that she “thinks the world of me and had a wonderful marriage but she wants to be on her own and earn her own way”. He also said that she does have a love interest but that isn’t her motivation.
So, as he is telling me this I literally felt the room spinning and the ground under me give way. It was a flood of emotion. How can the woman that thinks the world of me and had a wonderful marriage want a divorce? She really does love Nick and is telling people that. And then I felt a wash of relief come over me. It’s over. Done and I survived it. Maybe not elegantly, but I survived it.
I do know I can love again. My heart didn’t die when she left. I can be a great father to my children even without her by my side.
Life goes on. Maybe some doors close only so that others may be opened.
