but I just couldn't do it. My wife and I are splitting after 3 and a half years of marriage (her decision, not mine). I'm pretty torn up about it. We're divorcing as friends though. Which is a lot better, as the "I hate you and we'll never see each other again" kind of divorce would have crushed me. Not that I'm not crushed anyway, but this way I'll still get to see her and know she's alright. I may be a little more scarce for awhile, but I've said that before. It's just that my world is ending, you see.

At least since we had a commonlaw marriage rather than a paper one (for religious reasons that aren't suitable discussion for this board), we don't have to deal with the courts. Of course there's all the household splitting, the fact that we just signed a new lease on the apartment, and figuring out who's going to be in the best position to take custody of the cat.

Oh man, it's hard to keep it together, but I'm gonna do the best I can. And cry a lot in the meantime.
