I don't know how many of you remember me (or even care). I simply wanted to make one final post on this blog although it has been months since I last posted.
My husband and I are separating. I initiated the separation. We are headed for divorce. There is no turning back now. I am transferring my job to a state in the South and planning on starting a new life.
Asking for a separation was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. There was no yelling or screaming. Simply two calm adults realizing the end of 23+ years of marriage. It was very painful and emotional.
No, he has no idea about my secret life and it will remain that way.
I am still with Drake and we will continue to be good friends after I move..
I am going to have to deal with the double whammy of my marriage ending as well as losing my lover of three years.
Maybe you will see me in the divorce blogs..."Starting Over..."
Sweetie, of course I remember you and of course I still care. I really have missed you. I have gone missing twice myself in the past when things felt over-whelming. I missed it and I was always pleasantly surprised at how receptive everyone was when I returned. I hope your need to go away for a bit. I hope you don't choose to stay gone. I have loved following you and would love to hear how things are going for you. Love Rachel.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations for seizing the opportunity to change your life for the better. I hope now, a year later, you're much happier!
ReplyDeleteYou will probably never see this, but a spam post popped up and transported me back 12 years when we were all younger and having fun writing. I hope you found love and success in your new job and your new city and that everything turned out as well as could be expected. A54
ReplyDelete@Anonymous: I was just thinking about the golden age of blogging last night and feeling sad that the internet has become so commodified that little communities like this don't exist anymore.
