I felt that the end was near.... how wrong I was it was only the beginning. The beginning of my new life. The beginning of the healing part of the old.

Like the life was draining out of me, but time will help things get sorted out for the better once you decide to go on with your life for your own happiness. It's not going to be easy, but so many who have been there can let you know that it is possible to have a good life after marriage (even an extremely long one).

It broke my heart, but that was only one step in all the heartbreak this event caused me. First, there was the night he told me he didn't love me anymore (after 19 years and 3 children,) then there was the day he moved out, then the day the signed papers arrived in the mail, then the years to recover. I wish I had been one of you who felt elated. For me, it was devastatingly sad. Ten years later, I am over the love, but I am still alone, and much poorer, and still lonely.
But I learned so much, and one thing I learned is that heartache won't kill you.

u feel numb inside, as u know this is it, and what we maybe did not want to happen, will happen without our okay. but it can also mean the end of something very unhappy, something that we had no control over, and didn't ask for. and finally we feel hurt and elated at the same time, as we know it will hopefully be the end of something very painful. even if u were the one wanting it, i think it is still painful to have to give up on someone u thought u would be with forever.

Wonderful!! It was an 8 year rocky marriage and I'm so glad that my year long wait is over and that I can acutally file and get on with my life.

I was relieved; I felt like things were finally going to be over, but at the same time, I was very nervous about going to court and having to see my ex there. He was verbally and physically abusive during our marriage, and having to see him or be around him makes me very nervous.

I felt awful about it. When the paper came to the house and I opened it I wanted to vomit.

Relieved, but mine was a long, abusive marriage.
