The rest of the day was really weird for me. My wife called me to tell me that she could just switch me over to the safety deposit box. She then called a few minutes later to ask how my meeting with the mortgage company was. I told her that I would like to discuss this at home (was at work). She wanted to know then, so I told her what they told me. She wasn't too happy about it. She was saying that she could sell the Mustang for $11K (I got her a 1966 Mustang for our anniversary a few years back). With her just going on and on about needing all this money and how she had to have it to leave just did something to me. It's just like a switch went off in me. I had a calm/peace about me knowing it was over for good.
When I got home, I laid my wedding ring on the counter for her. It's just a ring so I want her to sell it so she can get what she needs. I was in bed by the time she got home. This morning, she seemed a little perturbed. She asked me if me leaving the ring on the counter was I trying to tell her something. I just said that she could sell it since she needed money. She told me that she couldn't get much for it. She sat down and said we could talk next week about drawing up the papers..no need for both of us to get a lawyer. While she was sitting there, I got up and went to get ready for work. I still have my peace and know I will be ok.
I'll grieve this marriage for 12 months, then I can fully move on with my life.
