Hi everyone here. I am new to this particular topic and just want to break in gently. My divorce is set to finalize on August, 4 of this year. Two more months!
I think at this point it is more painful having grown up in a huge family where divorce occurred for only one family member has made me feel a bit disappointing to my family. I have lost most interest in repairing my marriage and want to now work on my overall individual well-being so that if I do ever choose to get married again I can do so in a much healthier way.
My back went out a couple weeks ago. I thought I would live through the pain, but I gave in today and went to the doctor. I can't afford to call off sick at a new job all the time.
My new job is very monotonous and is in quality control not research like I wanted, but the pay is so good I've decided to work full time while completing my Masters. (I know everyone says this is difficult). I have no kids however, and anyone who has done a Masters (well most programs are like this), know that the classes aren't as hectic. It's primarily the research, but I love research. I really don't mind spending free time doing it.
I know I should balance out my social life. I'm moving to a new city closer to work, and in a month or two when I settle in I'm going to sign back up for Meetup groups. The apartment is still under repair so I'm just enjoying some time with sister at her apartment for the time being.
Life is stressful, but much less stressful than it was a year ago. I've got to say I like the upcoming changes. I really hope things keep going smoothly.
