How have you been hanging in there?
Doing the best I can. I broke my left big toe last weekend while moving the rest of my stuff I had stored at his house so there goes my plans of getting outdoors more and hiking, biking etc, for the next 6 weeks while it heals.
I have good days and bad days. There are times I don't mind being all by myself and I can tell myself "you will get through this" and I actually believe it. And then there are times it feels really lonely and something simple will trigger some emotion and I'm back to a crying mess eating a box of cookies and drinking half a bottle of wine while having long conversations with Butters to drown out the pain.
I am ready for it to be Jan 2 though. I have no reason to really want to celebrate any holidays right now.

OK here goes-*takes deep breath-I get it. In the same boat after 26 years (31 total). Dec 5th it comes to a sad end. I'm with her now being perfectly agreeable and happy enjoying the day with our youngest daughter listening to tunes and laughing. I'm not going to allow the sorrow of divorce to scar/change/ruin me. Life is bittersweet and full of regrets no matter what the young pups say. You take punches and you get back up. But you find the meaning in it, try to find the joy in all things and carry on with integrity and gratitude. I'm proud of my endurance skills-been doing it my whole life, one punch after another. Be happy those who came into your life did, they taught you something valuable. And if possible, be kind to them , even if they haven't been so kind to you.
Good luck, Brother. Stay grateful and in the moment. Better days ahead.

Man that hurts. My big toe is the only bone I've ever broken.
I'm sure you'll ultimately be fine. I've never gotten divorced and can't offer personal advice but I was a child of parents that went through a nasty divorce and they ended up both finding their place in life afterwards. Good luck to you.

Sorry Pimp. Sounds like a difficult situation. Hope everything works out well for you.

Oh wow, that must be rough, I'm so sorry.
I like your optimism and attitude about things.

Damn son, she took your heart and now she’s taking your soul.

Thanks to you and Nurse. I'm crushed and exhilarated at the same time. I have profound sadness and loss and incredible optimism all at the same time. Change is ALWAYS opportunity.

I know y'all have kids but I don't remember how old they are. My only advice that I can offer is to never talk bad about their mother around them, even if she did you wrong.
One of my parents did this and it really ruined my relationship with them. It's never been the same, even 30 years later. That's someone they love and your relationship issues aren't their problem.

Advice heard. Amicable to the end. That's why I used the word integrity. Who do you want to be in this life? Full of grace or bitter and vengeful?

We are very civil to one another. Still hug each other bye when we see each other. Which is every weekday to drop off/pick up Butters while I'm at work (he works from home now so Butters can get lots of attention during the day). For now we decided to sorta split custody of Butters so that he isn't locked up in a kennel all day in my apartment. Since we don't have kids...Butters is like our kid in the attention we give to him(he is still a dog, not saying he is just like a kid).
He still has offered a lot of emotional support in dealing with some stuff with my mentally ill father recently. And I know if I really needed help in any way I could call him for it.
I guess part of me hopes that maybe somehow things will change later on and he will change his mind and realize what a mistake he has made. The other part is trying to adapt to my new reality.

Prayers of acceptance to you. I know it's hard, particularly if you are still hoping for reconciliation.
I keep my beloved dog. That is NON-negotiable.

Well our other dog died this summer...that was like a child to my husband and Butters grew up with him. So I'm really just trying to do what is best for everyone and not just myself.
For now I'm ok with the arrangement. If it gets too hard to do (seeing him all the time) I told him I will let him know and make different plans.

It's true but not everytime. My ex tried messing around but never succeeded. I know people. I would have found out. You see, they think the grass is greener. She's finding out that across the fence was nothing but dead grass and she will have to live with it.
I don't have friends where I live. I have acquaintances. No time or money to find women. I spend as much time as possible with my children. I'm 43. Pussy can be bought anywhere. I don't look 30 but the women my age look a rough 50. If I could move back home I'd be slaying alot better looking women, but my kids are more important than a piece of arse. So I'm stuck in Funroe.

You should be entering your prime. She's past hers. Get in the gym, buy some new clothes and start smashing some thots.
