Tomorrow, I am officially a single man. That’s when the judge is supposed to finalize my divorce.
Don’t misunderstand — I knew this was coming. I knew it was coming for the past five years. It’s just the way it came that shocked me. Who knew that this woman who showed me zero affection had plenty of affection for another man? All these years I thought that she was just a cold, unaffectionate person, and that she was that way with everybody. After all, she is rather aloof where the children are concerned, too. But I was wrong, oh so wrong. It makes me wonder if she didn’t have boyfriends on the side the whole 19 years we were married? I had some lingering suspicions along the way, but I always tucked them away in the deep corners of my mind…..
I am glad that she is gone. I won’t miss her. I won’t miss the anger, the hurt, the loneliness. I hope she finds what she is looking for in Kansas. The kids and I will be just fine!
