Two really big pieces of news for me

[Lepplady]

Hi, guys. I haven't been around for a while, I know ... Life's just been a bit crazy, what with the job loss and relationship issues and all. Things are starting to resolve, though.

The first bit of news is: I got a job! A good one! WOOHOO!! I start a week from Monday, so YAY. I knew I'd find something eventually. Just wasn't sure it'd be in time to avert financial disaster. I think it probably will be.

The second bit of news is: after months of struggling and soul-searching, and one final "straw that broke the camel's back," I've decided I'm going to end my marriage. My friends who have been through it told me that one day you just know you're done, and they were right; that is pretty much how it works. I'm done. Done done. Because of our financial issues, we are stuck together for the moment, but thankfully things are much more civil than I thought they might be. May they remain that way.

So, uh ... what's up with you guys?

I'm glad you're getting it all sorted.

Wow - two big changes in your life - a new job and the ending of a marriage.
Good luck with both and I hope you can work it out soon so that you have separate apartments or places to live - ultimately that will be better for both of you

I don't believe we've "met," but all the best. I'm glad your life is veering from seems like an uncertain path to a brighter, happier journey.

Some of the big moments in life just seem too painful to address. Then, after hesitating, you rip that band-aid off and, at the end of it all, wondered why you waited to do what had to be done anyway. Best of luck to you.

Congratulations on your new job, hope it works out well for you. Sad to hear a break up of a marriage but if you know its over then there really is no point in carrying on and at least you are able to be civil with each other which is always an added bonus. Good luck for you future.

Thanks, guys. I think he's reached the bargaining stage of grieving ... He's going to try to do everything he can to get me to stay, and I really have to be prepared for that. But otherwise things are going fairly well. I was freaking out a few days ago because with the way things have gone, essentially I am going to be financially hurting for a long time, whereas he will probably get off pretty easy, but you know ... it's just money. It might be tough, but I will survive.

Congratulations and best of luck to you.

Todash, Congratulations on your new job.....Hooray for you! I am sorry to hear about your marriage...BUT, I am really looking forward to hearing about your new beginning! Wishing you all the success and happiness you deserve!

Congratulations on the job!

It's rarely easy to end a relationship but you've done all you can do to make it work. There will still be ups and downs as you maneuver through the process but it sounds like you're got reasonable expectations for how it will play out and are prepared for the bumpy spots.

Best of luck for both the job and making it through the divorce as smoothly as possible.

Best wishes on your new job. I hope things go well with your new journey.

Good to hear from you. Congrats on the job and double congrats on making a difficult decision. It sounds like it's working out well for both of you and I hope it continues.

 

[Todash]

Thanks, all. So far it seems to be working out really well. We are physically together right now and probably will be for a bit because of financial issues, but the stress has been largely lifted. He's getting it. And I think he's even relieved, really; he knows this is for the best.

 

[Mr Nobody]

Congrats on the job, commiserations elsewhere, and I wish you the very best of luck in your new ventures.
(Which kind of makes it sound like either you're leaving or I am, and it's not meant to. )

You forgot to add the news that you have Shrek toes. Just sayin'......

 

[Shasta]

I don't believe we've "met," but all the best.

Todash is the best. She's one of my favorite people ever. And an excellent writer. You'll love her.

LOL ... You know how to butter me up, Shasta. Pretty much any guy who says "I love your writing" to me from here on out is 75% of the way to getting a "yes" from me.

 

[Out of Order]

I love your writing..............

 

[Shasta]

LOL ... You know how to butter me up, Shasta.

No butter here. I actually like your writing.

 

[Todash]

I love your writing..............

How did I know somebody would do this? And how did I know it would probably be you?

Too obvious?
