Hi there!
My name is Heather, and I recently ended an 8 year marriage to a man who had no experience with LTR’s, no experience with conflict resolution, and is going through a mid-life crisis. This is my outlet, the place where I can go to spew word diarrhea. I hear that it’s very therapeutic, and so far, I have to say I agree. It feels really damn good to just explode outwards and let the flames carry my anger away. To let go of my unresolved anger.
Like any separation, there will be ups and downs. I’m working through my emotions day by day, hour by hour. I find myself having to make a conscious effort to not focus on the negative, or even think about him anymore. It sounds easier than it is.
The transition from married to single is hard. It’s lonely, but I think that when I come out of this, I will be an even better person than I was before.
I am keeping this particular blog under my married identity since it is a reflection of who I was, and who I am becoming.
Cheers!
