We had our time in front of the judge this morning. It took all of 5 minutes. The divorce will be official in 120 days.

This entire process has been a series of hurdles to get past, each one being a challenge I thought I was ready for, then quickly realizing I wasn't at all when it happened. I've made it through all of them, but holy shit this is hard.

I want to say thank you to everyone here. I've never felt so alone in my life, and this community makes me feel like I'm at least part of something during all of this. I've saved so many comments from here that have inspired me in times when I felt like I just wanted to disappear.

I hope to be one of the guys who posts how it gets easier, and life is so much better after divorce. I'm not there yet, but I hope to be one day. My thoughts go out to anyone reading this who is dealing with one of those hurdles right now.
