Divorced 1 Year Ago

[alamogirl]

I everybody. Well, it's been 1 year ago 20 Jul that I got divorced.

I spent the day with family but not because I didn't want to be alone. My sister celebrated her birthday today even though her birthday is on 28 Jul.

Well, after 1 whole year, I'm feeling ok. I still miss the ex and think of him often...not everyday like I used to. Of course, living in the house we renovated together, it's kind of hard not to think of him. There's a story to tell just about in every part of the house.

The ex and I haven't spoken in a while. He sent me an e-mail saying 'hi,' but that's about it.

I'm still not ready to date or anything. I'm going out a little more than before. I managed to go out to a bar last night ...nothing fancy, just dinner and drinks with a single girlfriend. She's also divorced.

16 Jul would have been my 14 wedding anniversary. I almost got divorced on my wedding anniversary. Actually, the ex signed the divorce papers on our would-have-been 13th wedding anniversary. How tacky is that! As far as I know, the ex put college on hold and is working full-time. He's supporting his lazy 21 year old son and the son's girlfriend. He had lunch with my sister about a month ago, and she gave me the scoop. I still have to pinch myself from time to time because sometimes, I still struggle to understand why we couldn't make it work.

Anyway, I just wanted to give you all an update on what my life as been like after divorce. For those of you who are still hurting and lost, there is life after divorce...I promise :).
