What are you all up to?

[verycontrary247]

I just realized today is my 3 year divorce anniversary. How weird. Awesomely weird.

I've been dating someone for the past 2ish months, and it's going really well. I met his family over Thanksgiving, he's meeting mine over Christmas. I'm putting the cart waaay before the horse and stressing about what life would be like if we moved in together- because he has 2 dogs (corgi and Italian greyhound, you've probably seen them on my IG). Trying to chill out about the what-ifs.

Work is kicking my butt. A position I want opened up, but the schedule is super shitty. It's so hard to date/be in a normal relationship when you are on opposite schedules :0/

Huh. This is the first time I've been on this board in a while that I'm legit 'starting over'. It was the right thing, but I finally felt like I had my shit together and.. well.. I apparently do not.

I am not excited to spend 6 months living in the house together, no matter how agreed upon the split was.

Sorry lexxasaurus, that's shit. Do you have no other options?

[Deleted]

I'm so sorry lexxasaurus.

[lexxasaurus]

No, not really. We can't afford to get places of our own yet, or break the lease so we are sort of stuck. We get along, and talked tonight but man it sucks.

I lived with XH for a little over 6 months and it was not agreeded upon. It's hard no matter what...... I am glad I did because I was able to get my shit together before moving out which gave me options which I would not have had otherwise. You do you whatever that is.

yeah, I really couldn't afford to move out now, without a deposit and all that so I'm somewhat glad I have time. It'll all work out or something.

That is why I stayed...

I'm trying to come to terms with the fact that, for the first time ever, I will not be with my kids on Christmas morning. 

Me too. It's also the first time in my life that I will be alone on Christmas morning. Even when I lived by myself I had family stay over on Christmas Eve. I can't wrap my head around it. I'm going to make Christmas Eve day as much like Christmas as I can.
I'm sorry that the judge messed around with what you agreed to.
