Divorce isn't an end; it's a different beginning.
The Not Good, Very Bad, Upside-Down Wedding
I mentioned on my article about my wedding to the love of my life that I had a short marriage with another person where the wedding and the marriage were both terrible. They stood as wonderful examples of everything I didn't want.

The Third Party
Its safe to say that in almost every break up or divorce all parties involved share some of the blame. With that concept in mind, please understand that this recanting is from my perspective, as I lack telepathy and cannot account for another's experience. For the sake of anonymity, I will not be using the real names of those involved.

A timely tale of love in...love out
Do you wonder if pandemic were around, while you two were dating, would you still be married? Divorced? I’m reading a lot about the new relationships blossoming during global pandemic. (I don’t get it, but hey why not) The dating alone must be absolutely tedious, let alone the lack of sex. The lack of sexy time. The lack of physical anything. At least in the traditional manner we’ve practiced since the beginning of time, so I’m told. What if this is what’s needed to spark up an archaic practice of hits and misses.

Heart
I hate that you’re occupying my brain. Consuming my thoughts. The good times haunt me as if they were real. My heart is begging me to stop the replay but my mind won’t quit. Your world was illuminated so much that you never noticed the shadows. You never saw me. You never saw the hurt you caused from your form of cruel love. What I wanted was pure. No amount of money could ever buy the things I wanted or needed from you. It seemed so easy to give, yet the struggle to make you understand was unbearable. Your words hurt more than the physical abuse, when I tried to walk away you tried to still take you thought was yours. I just wanted you to love me. I just wanted you to care about me. I didn’t want to just fade away but when it was happening you didn’t even notice. You weren’t there when I needed you, you were only there when it was convenient for you. I always thought that if and when I gave you what you wanted that you would appreciate me, respect me and yes finally, love me. I don’t know how I could be so wrong, I don’t know how I could have mistaken your grooming me for love. I should have saw it coming - I guess it’s true what they say, Love is blind.

Find Hope
Alone for the night, Elaine pressed her hand to the cold windowpane, ignoring the pain that came with the bite from the chill. Beyond the pane the outside world was covered in a glistening silent winter wonderland. The beauty of it did not escape her, however in her heart she despised the cold. She finally pulled her hand back when the steam outline traced her entire palm. There I have left a mark on something. Elaine thought bitterly. Her entire life had recently imploded. An eighteen-year relationship down the drain. Yet another rejection letter from another job in which she would have excelled. Her daughter struggling in school despite her best efforts to support and motivate her. All in all, she just felt that she had failed. Which she presumed had been his objective. When he had left, he had taken with him two thirds of the household income. Leaving her with the same stack of bills to pay yet only a third the amount to cover the total. The stressed had been weighing on her since he had had left. She knew it showed in the lines on her face.

The Hurt that Keeps on Hurting
I thought he was exactly what I needed. Well...Just like the meteorologists on many occasions, I was wrong. I saw what I believed and I believed what I thought I saw. At times this man had a heart of gold. At other times this man was hell on wheels! I thought he was only that way because I made him upset. I mean I am three years younger than he is so maybe it was just my immaturity. Maybe it was because I was so quiet and shy towards him, that he accused me all the time. These are the things I believed. Not once was I able to see the truth about him. I believed he could do no wrong when all he did was wrong.

Putting things in their place
Four years ago I was a happily married woman to a man I always thought had my best interest at heart. We had a whirlwind romance and I fell very deeply in love. He seemed to be everything I had ever dreamed of until one day the betrayal I felt has never been repaired.

Life Support
Sylvia could not pinpoint the date and time her marriage went on life support. She supposed it was the day her husband, Henry, scratched his crotch and expelled gas from his behind in her presence without saying “excuse me,” or when he forgot her birthday and monopolized the television remote without regard to her feelings, or when they were no longer intimate with one another. Either way, their marriage was in critical condition. It was suffering from a lingering case of indifference and there was no defibrillator in sight.

There Are Many Things I Miss About Being Married . Top Story - February 2021.
It has been three months since my husband did an about-face and refused to continue marriage counseling. Since he told me I was the cause of all his problems. Three months since the last time we slept in the same bed, or shared a kiss, or touched each other at all.
