Halloween weekend last year, ex wife did me a huge favor. She showed me who she really was, even though we were together most days every day for 8 years. She showed me that everything I did for her & sacrificed for her meant nothing & that she was just using me. She couldn’t even ask for a divorce in person & had to resort to a text message. Pathetic! Anyway, it took me several months to be in a much better headspace. I’ve been on the dating apps with no luck so far but I’m not settling. The loneliness sometimes gets to me but the peace & solace is so much worth it. Someday I’m sure I’ll meet a good woman but until then, I’m free from pouring into someone who had checked out long ago.
