Michael told me tonight he wants a divorce. While I am not surprised(Believe it or not!) The shock has set in and I am alternately in tears, and looking forward to my new life. I'm not angry...I'm not even particularly hurt...In being honest with myself I have to admit I have seen this coming for a while. What surprised me is that after he told me he didn't know why he married me, he said thought he married me for security. Apparently he hasn't been happy for the last two yeas or so and has been contemplating this for about six months.
I know I am not a failure...he just doesn't want to change, and I can't live with his drinking...this is for the best and I do understand that, but why do I feel so lost? I know I will go through the grieving process, I have helped other friends through divorce...I just didn't think that I would end up divorced 5 years after getting married. I know one thing for certain...I won't be doing this again...no more and never again.
I stand in need of Spirit...Goddess...tonight and I don't know where to find it...her...I know I'm not going to go through this alone, but right now I feel lonlier than I have ever felt. I don't feel sorry for myself...I don't want to stay in a relationship that is not healthy, but...
On the plus side, this is an exciting thing...I'm up for the change...or will be...but for tonight I think I'll go have a good cry so I can think more clearly tomorrow.
I love you all,
Amthyst
