I'm posting this in JFO in case anyone wants to vent. We're in R and I'm 11 months from my D-Day. BUT, 2013 was the absolute worst fu$&@ year of my life and I am so friggin' glad it's over. 2013 can suck it!

I agree!!!

This was my FB status this morning:

2013 was definitely the worst year of my life. There were even times when I feared I might not survive it. Without sounding too blasphemous, I often felt like Job from the Old Testament - with plague after plague of bad stuff being thrown at me. There were so many times when I thought surely, I must be a terrible person. There is no way I could be this unlucky in life without having brought it onto myself. I felt like I was drowning and it was tempting to let myself just sink. But each time I was low, there was one simple truth that kept me struggling back up to the surface to gasp for air. I have so many friends. Friends who support me, adore me, would do anything for me. Surely, a person who can maintain so many true, unwaveringly loyal, loving friendships can't be all that bad? And so, it was you, my loves, those of you who have been there for me throughout this hellish year, through many years prior and certainly will be there for me many years into the future - it was you that kept my head above water. And now, just as Job did, I made it through my trials and tribulations and have come out rewarded for my suffering. I thank you for holding me up when I needed it most. And I look forward to celebrating what will surely be the greatest year of my life, having survived this one. Happy 2014 you glorious life-savers! XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

..i'm betting 2014 will be better.

Get me through this f'n nasty winter with the ice storm etc.

..i'm sure as hell ready for better days to come.

smy

Agreed! Ready for this crappy year to be done with!

And I'm wishing everyone a happier 2014. It just HAS to be better. I mean, you can't fall down when you're already laying on the floor! ;-)

cliffside, I agree with you, I wish everyone here a better 2014 than 2013!

Agreed! Good riddance 2013!

Wishing everyone a MUCH happier new year xx

AMEN!!!

Same here. Worst year of my life!

It was my FB status yesterday! Lol. Yes, 2013 can stick it up its ass and go fuck itself. Hard. In the eye.

Steadfast - x2!!!

I had a tech support guy I called fairly often. Whe. He would hang up,mshes sign off by saying "have a better day."

I want to sign off today with "have a better year!"

Hell yeah!!!

Hear hear!

2013 should have been a great year. I traveled all over, saw Mariano Rivera pitch twice on his farewell season, and had the most successful year of my career.

And then it all went to crap. I cannot wait for this year to be over!

At 11:59 I am making a conscious decision to let it all stay here in 2013. At midnight it is my year and is all about me, what I want, and what I need...

It is no longer that I can't live without her, now it is that I can not live with her... My D will be final in 4 months and I have a new place lined up in Monroe LA, where I can finally ride my scoot all year. Big move from WI...But oh well THAT is for ME. Instead of working 100 hours a week for 3 or 4 months at a time for some unappreciative selfish person...

@ steadfast's comment! Yes it can!!!

2013 had its ups and downs for sure. Mr. Happy and I are still married and step by step Getting to Happy.

I really wanted to say to all that have posted here, KUDOS for making it through the storm. LOOK, your still standing! I bet you never knew you had so much personal strength. KUDOS my SI friends.

And a special KUDOS to lostandhopless. Best wishes on your move to Monroe LA. Take it easy and enjoy your life after your WWife-ectomy!

And don't be surprised when your healing progresses that some lovely woman will come along and really appreciate a nice man with fortitude and morals. My hat is off to you sir.

Take care everyone and Happy NEW YEAR!!! A prosperous and peaceful 2014 to ALL!!!

My wife started cheating on me in February and March, and started avoiding me out of guilt (she now says) during those months. Essentially leaving me to take care of our three kids while she worked late, went out with her "friends", went to the gym, etcetera. I even joked at one point to a close friend of mine that I was a single dad. In April my grandmother died. In May my wife told me she wasn't sure she wanted to be with me any more. July 6th was D-Day. Two weeks later my dad died. By August the last of the trickle truth is done (I think) and I've discovered that my wife has cheated on me with three different guys, though she insists it's "only" two. One doesn't count, she tells me, because it was only one time and he was too creepy. In August she tells me she wants an open marriage (denied). November my oldest is diagnosed with ADD. Today, New Year's Eve, we put our 16 year old dog down.

So yeah, f*ck you 2013.

So here's to 2014 and better days. May the road rise to meet you all, and may the ones who travel it with you, be it your spouses, or your kids, or even if its just you and your own soul to keep you company, may whoever travels this road with you treat you with the respect and dignity you deserve. The past is the past, and there is nothing to be done about it. The future is the future, and it is ours to mould and make, in whatever fashion we so desire. To 2014!

My New Years resolution on 12/31/12, I will not leave 2013 in the same place. I filed for D in 2013, survived in-house S for a few months and am now awaiting the end of the 1 year waiting period for the final decree.

New Years resolution for 2014, continue to enjoy my new life and take myself and my kids on lots of trips next year.

This shit DOES get better people! Just hang in there and keep moving forward. 2014 is YOUR year! Make it whatever YOU want it to be!
