There’s no question that 2020 was a challenging year for all of us. And it looks like 2021 will continue to be challenging, at least for the first half. It’s been 15 months since I left my marriage. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long! I had big plans to get myself out there and meet new people. Volunteer and contribute to my new local community. The pandemic put a damper on that! Instead, I found myself with a lot of alone time; relying on some very good virtual friends to get me through some pretty tough times. As I look back, I’m realizing that I’ve healed- I’m a lot happier today than I was a year ago. I’m calmer, less stressed, and finally looking forward to the future.
I’m expecting my divorce decree soon. My ex and I are on very good terms and are forging a path to a new friendship. We spent Christmas together and enjoyed each other’s company for the first time in a very long time. It goes to show that divorce doesn’t have to be filled with acrimony as long as both spouses are willing to cooperate. I’m very grateful to my ex for his willingness to forge a new (and hopefully better) relationship with me. I didn’t believe it could be possible.
I’m facing 2021 with optimism and a bit of trepidation. There will be a lot of “firsts”. I’ll be moving out of my apartment oasis into a house that I am purchasing on my own, I will be taking on new responsibilities at work, and I hope to finally be able to visit some very dear friends I’ve only talked to virtually.
I know that I wouldn’t be where I am today without the support of people who care about me. That’s my best advise to those who are considering leaving your marriages- reach out to your support network; trust them to have your back.
May 2021 be a better year for all of us!
And, Yes- I am having sex again - great sex! But that’s a story for another time. 😊.
