Just a final update.

Divorce was final last Friday. The ex and I went to court, judge signed off on it and that was it.

When we walked out of the courtroom, she collapsed on the floor and started crying. I just looked at her and said "Hey, it's ok, get up, this is what you wanted and there is finally some closure. We can move on with our lives apart." Gave her a hug and walked out of the building to my car.

I sat there for a long minute, took a deep breath, looked in the rearview mirror at myself, smiled and am officially divorced and ready for my future.

Was this a long painful process? Yes. Did I do EVERYTHING I could do to save my marriage? Yes. Do I still love my exwife? Yes, but I guess it's my turn to say "I love you but I am not in love with you" to her.

I'll check in from time to time, see how you all are doing. Thank you for all of your support. Thank you Sandi for the "rules" and please, all of you who are just starting this journey. Remember, you are given the best gift in the world. You are given the gift of a rebirth, of finding yourself again, GAL like your life depends on it. Soon you too will find happiness and inner-peace.
