Divorce
« on: March 02, 2010, 02:50:26 PM »

I received the papers for divorce from Tanya today. Though I expected them, it still cut me deeply.

I never meant for it all to go bad, and despite the many problems we had, I'd have stuck it out. And yes, much of the fault was mine. Not all, certainly, but some.

It hurts to be thrown away like a piece of garbage after ten years of marriage. I'd have done anything to save it. Anything except quit my job and move to North Carolina. I was afraid to leave the security of my position. Would it have saved the family? I'll never know.

One of my biggest fears is to grow old and be all alone. I had hoped that I had someone to love for the rest of my life, but now things look pretty grim.

I'm going to try to get back into gear here and start reviewing again. It's incredibly difficult to care about anything at a time like this. They say time heals all wounds,  but I've only felt continually worse. Especially seeing it written out in cold black and white and in hard legal terms.

Everyone says that they're sure things will pick up for me. I'm not so sure. I know that I'm kind of a weirdo.

On top of it all, things are really frightening at work. Word is there isn't enough money to cover payroll. I want to go see my precious India this coming weekend, but part of me wants to stay here and sit on this week's pay. If it comes in.  I'm also worried about next week's pay. And the week after.

I had some old friends over all last weekend and it was a lot of fun. But it also feels kind of hollow. I'm not ready for another live-in lover, but I'd like to have a lady to take out to eat and to the movies and stuff. Hopefully one day it will happen.

Thanks to everyone for being my friend.

I'm so sorry for this.

You already know how I feel about it.  And how my own situation mirrors your own.  But, just remember, I'm always out here for you.  Anytime you want to vent, drop me a line.

I totally understand...

Yeah man, I'm real sorry to hear that.  I know things will look up after a while, but in the mean time, just keep in going one day at a time.  We're all here for you!

Sorry to hear that it ended up this way, Mark.  I know how painful it's been for you to go through this.  I'm here if you want to e-mail or chat on the phone when you're ready.

Divorce Sucks.   Sad

My wife's ex-job ended like that... payroll was always in question during the last few months... then it was later and later.  Scary stuff.

I hope things get better for you Mark!  Stick in there.  Do what needs to be done to make it work for you.

Thanks, guys. It's not like this is new news, but as I say, the cold reality is a bitter pill.

Sorry to hear it, Mark. I don't know divorce but I know heartache. I still think about my ex fiancee a lot. I thought we'd last forever. I dunno, I like to think the last three years have healed me, and they definitely have, but I still have my bad days. It doesn't compare to ten years, but I know the pain and sudden rush of loneliness. I actually posted here the other night about this and then deleted it. I haven't had anything steady in almost three years, and every time I find someone I really like they dump me in two months (yes, even my recent 21 yr old dumped me). I've gotten to the point I'm just gonna concentrate on other things....writing books, my band, saving enough money to open my own bar (my dream).  Then I'll revisit my life in 5 years and see what happens. Times are changing anyway, and most of my friends are still single as well. Frigging girls looking for a millionaires or a pool boy model thanks to the media--that's my theory anyway.

But hang in there, get on here and talk if you need to. I think there are enough of us out there (and surely more so than me) who have dealt with this if you need to vent.

I sure do wish there was something I could say than, "I'm sorry," but I truly am sorry, Mark. I hope it helps a little to know how much we all care about you.

And hey, everybody's a weirdo. Admittedly, some of us are weirder than others . . .  Wink

I don't know, Donn. A lot of people seem depressingly normal to me.

I'm feeling a little bit better. Time to get on with things. I have some projects in mind for Horror Drive-In and I need to get out and start living again. No more moping and crying over what was, what is, and what could have been. Get busy living or get busy dying.

It appears I've chosen the latter.  Sad

Hang in there, Mark.  I certainly know how frustrating it is to find yourself alone when you want the comfort of growing old with someone.  But you never know what's going to happen -- good things can still come along.

Hey my brother. Call me anytime. I'm right up the road. If things get spinning downward to fast for you, drop a dime anytime day or night. I mean 4:00 a.m, if that's when you need to talk. You know I went through the same thing with Barb after 25 years. I know how hard it can be just to be in the house by yourself.

Hi Howard,

I owe you a call. We really need to get together sometime.

I'm doing better. Very gradually. Some days I think I'm fine, but then I fall apart the next. It's going to take time.

Thanks, my friend.
