I know exactly how you felt. I knew my divorce had it’s justifications but when I said I do, I said it forever and whole-heartedly meant it. It passes though (and damn I’m happy as hell now lol)

Hey there. We “met” a couple years back with Stumbling - which I haven’t used in almost as long - and even back then you mentioned your new distance from your married life. I haven’t visited StumbleUpon in ages and just today, thought I’d go through old memories and ended up here. Even though it has been a long time in coming and has likely left you with more exhaustion than you’d rather have, I hope you start seeing the days forming to be a bit brighter. Just remember, the only thing wrong with feeling like a failure is telling yourself that you are one - ’cause it ain’t the case. Find friends, find community, and stick to them, and you’ll find more reasons to face the next day than you thought. One day, you’ll look back at these times and think “Yeah, those were rough times.” Notice the “were”…

May your days be bright. Welcome to chapter 2.

Congratulations! I get the mixed bag that you’re going through but when it’s right, you know it.

Very looking forward to the “real” you though I think she’s been here all along

I hate the parts in life where you know you had grounds and everything, but you feel like you failed where others would have gone on. Perhaps that is where you are stronger, because you were able to go against the mold of what society has branded into your mind as what is right and wrong. Still, I hate it when I feel like a failure. I see your point of view pretty clearly.

Life goes on. Now you can get back to knitting.

Even after eight years of pain, even though my pastor at church would attest that I had biblical grounds, thereâ€™s still this great big part of me that knows that when I signed on for forever it meant for ever. And knowing that, I canâ€™t help feeling like a total and complete failure.

Even though I wasn’t the one who filed for my divorce and fought very hard to hang on, I felt very much the same way when I went through mine. I can totally relate. Looking back, I know that God wouldn’t want me to still be in that relationship. It just wasn’t healthy. Congratulations on your new official freedom!

Trudge on, dear maiden. This battle is over. Take a deep breath now. Rejuvenate yourself and prepare for greater things and the next battle in the war.

One battle does not lose or win a war.

Remember, that which does not kill you, only makes you stronger. Cliche as it may sound, it is undoubtedly the truth of our life in this world.

When the war finally ends your CHARACTER that you built through your actions during your trials will be what is judged as success or failure.

I am so glad this is over for you. I am also glad that I am not the last person in this world that took the vows to heart.

You are in a MUCH better place right now and it shows!

I’m excited to learn more about the real you.

Not that it’s really the same thing and not that you said you wanted any sympathy, but I can sympathize with you a bit on this topic. After finally ending my first real relationship of 5 years not too long ago, I’m finally starting to get adjusted to being free from that relationship again. There’s still some baggage and loose ends left, but I can honestly say that I’m starting to feel more and more like it was the right thing to do. There just seemed like there was something unhealthy about it, and I think by finally admitting that everything wasn’t “A-OK” I’m starting to finally put that relationship in the past.

More of the real you? Sweet. Quietly stalking you by RSS will soon be so much more satisfying.
