Today I am divorced.
Surprisingly enough, I'm not sad. I'm actually excited.
Isn't that odd?
I have experienced every emotion under the sun due to this divorce. I was so afraid of how I was going to be once this was all said and done. I imagined myself scared and sad, but I'm neither.
I'm so relieved.
I feel as though a burden has been lifted off of me.
Even though I knew I wasn't happy in the marriage, I didn't realize how unhappy I actually was.
I feel as though my life is my own again.
No longer do I have to walk on eggshells with someone.
I don't have to be suspicious if he's with another woman.
I can buy what I want when I want, and I don't have to made to feel guilty.
I can go wherever I want to.
I can be the woman God intended me to be.
I feel as though I can finally exhale.

Praying this is the beginning of a new, wonderfully exciting chapter in your life!
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way on the day my divorce was final-- nothing wrong with feeling relieved when you get out of a bad situation. BTW I wanted to post on your anger about your ex moving on so quickly but it wouldn't let me, so let me just throw out there that my ex had already PROPOSED to his mistress before our divorce was final. It doesn't say anything about YOU, it says something about him and the status of your relationship in his mind. His problem, not yours, and you've got every right to be furious.
ReplyDeleteWow.. That's awful! That had to have been heartbreaking.. However, I'm so glad you have found such a wonderful man now!
