NCEPR-All The Single Ladies

[chichimi]

My divorce was final yesterday so I thought I would update because so many of you have offered great advice and support. I am doing really well and I am very optimistic about my life going forward.

Two of my girlfriends took care of me last night but although I feel sad about the loss of what I thought I had, I do not feel sad about ending it. He has made some crazy decisions that have sealed the deal and as recently as Saturday confirmed that he didnt love me and didnt want to be my husband. He started texting me the night before and morning of to try to see if we could work things out and I held firm. He has never apologized and I think he is starting to realize what he gave up but not enough to actually change yet.

I have done some solo travel this summer and I am comfortable spending time alone now, which is a huge adjustment for me. I spent a tumultuous week in MD with family but Im glad telling everyone is out of the way. I went to Bonnaroo (dirty hippie music fest) that was damn near a spiritual experience. In exactly one month, I leave for a three week work trip to South America including Brazil, Columbia, Peru, and Ecuador and Ive never been more excited about anything in my life.

Im still thinking about the tattoo but havent pulled the trigger yet because I dont want to associate it with a negative time in my life. Thank you for all the thoughts and advice.

Wishing you well. That sounds like a wonderful (and well-deserved!) trip. Enjoy it

I'm glad to hear about all these exciting plans! I hope you enjoy yourself!

The trip should be awesome! :beer:

BTW, I've had a hard time with keeping people straight since moving to the new format. If you didn't keep the same sig, I'm lost. Did you change your name recently? I feel like the fact that your SN is similar to ChiCharlie (was that her name?) is adding to my confusion.

Hang in there. Things get SO much better.

Your trip sounds amazing!

I was chicharlie and changed my name before we moved over. I rarely had a sig.

Ah, so you were part of the great name change that had already confused me.

Here's a new start and to things looking up. :drink:
