The day we had the "getting divorced" talk was my b-day.
The day D was finalized, his b-day.
Bitter-sweet, fitting, and shitty. All part of that shit-sandwich we have to choke down.

My divorce was granted the same day my parents got divorced.
I think...therefore, I'm single.
It is what it is.

((((roughroadahead)))) Our divorce was final the day before what would have been our 16th anniversary. Sometimes it's cleansing that way.

Yep... on our 10th wedding anniversary we were in court and I was defending myself against his false domestic abuse claims.
It was so interesting to watch him on the stand lie about everything except his name and address.
Divorced - recovered and hoping to help.

Mine was final just a few days after my birthday. Dday was my youngest's birthday turning 1.
Believe me it gets better. I'm on year 5 and it's not the first thing I think of around my birthday now or my son's birthday.

- My divorce was final on May 17, 2013.
- I got married on May 17, 1996.
- May 17, 2103 was a Friday, so was May 17, 1996.
- And, doing the math, my divorce date was the 17 year anniversary of our wedding date.
Think I should play lottery with the number 17?

We share an anniversary, fraeuken.
I guess we should warn others not to make use of the date.

The day he moved the rest of his stuff out-my birthday. a Day after our final paperwork was sent to the court house. The day we were finalized was the same day as my parents divorce.
Divorce sucks.

Solus, we should! My BIL did marry on the same day as well, I am hoping it will last for him.

Final was about 2 mins into our 8th Wedding Anniversary. Also OWUglyIndian's Birthday.
I did something VERY memorable on that date this year. 
That is what I'll remember in the years to come.
I may have reached a point where I'd piss on him if he was on fire.... eventually!!

Reprieve! Waffle's L has a conflict, so it has been rescheduled. We're now looking at the end of August. Oddly, at kid exchange today Waffle told me it was good that it had turned out that way because he "preferred not" to have to deal with the D on "that day"

Don't blame God, it's clearly the devil trying to break us. If you haven't already noticed, but it seems like the weak spouse is used by forces to break the strong one, because being married to these losers didn't break us before the A's. We were always strong when they were weak, when they were broken, and we kept on loving them no matter what. I just hate it when we blame God for the bad things.

And these cheaters suck the humor right out of our lives. I need to lighten up some. Sorry.

A little bit of irony for my D:
I signed the petition on Good Friday.
The waiting period was over on July 4th (courts were closed so it wasn’t really final until the 5th, but close enough).
Divorced...and moving on!
