It's time for another name!

It's Been a Long Almost Two Years!!!!!!

How goes everything folks!!!! Has it finally been a year already !!!!

Last time I was here on SI was right when I kicked the WW out of the house to go and live with her AP two states over. I've hardly heard anything from her and was able to file for D on 8/23. Long story short, final D was granted today, 10/11/2021!!!!!!

Right now it's a surreal feeling and I'm pinching myself making sure that this is real. All I can say is good riddance to WW and thank you to the AP for taking her off my hands and out of life. This past year was total, absolute NC and grey rock which allowed myself time to heal and get priorities straight. It's ironic that today is the day that she decided to step out of the marriage and take up with AP two long years ago. It's fitting that today would be the day that the D is finalized. Karma has a wonderful way of working itself out. Metaphorically, I've stepped out of the woods and into the clearing and all I can see is blue sky with the eagles crying on high and the birds singing in the branches. The air smells so sweet and soothing! It's hard to believe that this day is finally here and have been waiting for it with baited breath for well, almost two years.

My new beginning is here!!!!!!!!!!!

Jumping Back Into the Pool Again

So, it’s been a couple of weeks since WW and I separated with her moving out of state permanently. I’ve been working on myself a lot lately getting ready to get back into the pool after being out of it for 20+ years and believe that I’m in a good emotional spot right now since I’ve come to accept the finality of the M. It’s time for me to move on and be happy. Went ahead and set up an account on a popular paid site. I did this because most folks would seem to have a vested interest and to weed out the pretenders (there will still be some but minimal…hopefully) and spent the whole weekend tweaking my profile (which I still am) and choosing pics (which I need more of). Going to see where this leads and getting on with my life. In my eyes, there is nothing wrong with trying, and won’t be upset if nothing happens just yet due to the ongoing COVID issue which is understandable. Just having fun with the whole process which is exciting and scary at the same time. There are just so many options!!!!
