A Friday Intro

[Deleted]

Hello everyone. I've creepily lurked here since the days of TN, then followed over here (I lurk on some other boards as well).

I'm 30, and STBXH and I officially separated in early April (he is around my age). We were married 4 years, together for 5 before that. I initiated the splitting up convo, but very quickly, it became apparent that he was on the same page. So, our split is extremely mutual and amicable. We love each other, but not the way you're supposed to love your spouse. Looking back, I honestly don't know if I was ever IN love with him. We functioned as best friends but not really anything more.

So, we're getting along very well at this point. The divorce will be final within the next couple weeks. We split custody of our beloved mutt. I want to add his pic to my siggy so people can more easily identify me. Can someone help? I know the instructions have been posted before, but I can't locate them at the moment.

Those are the basics for now. I hope to become a more active poster, and I also think I'll have a question about a sticky dating situation within the next few days, so I timed my intro appropriately. Feel free to ask questions, let me know the initiation process, etc.

P.S. As a result of my lurking, I believe I have garnered that roselis and I live in the same area. Yeah, creepster, I told you.

The initiation process involves telling us about your favorite chips and candy

I...um...don't really eat a lot of chips. Do Cheez Its count? Because I could eat a whole box of those.
Candy - Chocolate. Anything chocolate. Heath bars are maybe my fav if I had to pick one. Outside of chocolate, I love Swedish fish.

I never noticed it before... and I am too lazy to comment. But I wanted to say there is nothing wrong with being happily single while also wanting to meet someone to snuggle with!! You can do both

I work at a local business association. I'm in our membership department; I oversee retention and engagement.

I have a degree in Communications because I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life.

:Y: Pink are the best.

Someone less lazy than me needs to find the non-benefits post and link it here because it is PRICELESS!

It's okay to name your favorite, we all know we are fabulous. My Favorites are Gozf because she is a perv and AK because she seems so level headed and of course DMNDS for the crazy, even though she is technically a Blended family person now.

AND BK because she is hot, but I try not to mention her too often so no one will realize I am in lust with her.

Although, there are a LOT of hotties on this board.
