Welcome to writing a new chapter in the story of your life. I love your metaphor of the bend in the road.

This is a very big step and I know how hard this has been for you. You should be very proud of yourself.

Your description of your thoughts and actions seem to indicate you’ve got your head screwed on right about this. Even if your curved road has a few bumps, you’ll be okay.

I have a picture of my grandparents there from around 1900. How cool! I would love to see that! I didn't know that lake is that old. Your photos are gorgeous, I'd love to go for a walk with you...... if I wasn't about 14,000km away! That would be awesome. Now, when he comes back to town --- will you be safe? You two still live together, yes? Do you have a plan in place as to where you can go if things get bad? Are all your important documents safe? Photos safe? I don't have any reason to think I won't be safe. He's not a mean person. Barely even has ever raised his voice at me. But I do watch a lot of datelines, so who the hell knows. LOL I don't really have anywhere to go. My attorney put in the divorce papers that he needs to move out and keep paying for our house. I honestly don't care if he moves out, he's rarely home anyway. Besides, if he has to live on his own, that means less money for me in the end. LOL But if things get bad, at least the option is there for him to be forced to leave. I hadn't thought about documents and photos. I will work on that this weekend. Thanks for the suggestion!

Good for you! I hope you get to see the look on his face! I hope he realizes what he’s losing at the same time you’re realizing what your gaining!

I just wanted to add on jewelry or anything else he might "disappear" and give to the other woman. And if you can't remove it, take a video to prove the condition and location it was in this weekend. But I also wanted to add that I have been following your journey, and am happy for you that the time for this big step has come.

When divorce is a reality sometimes people go nuts and things get ugly. I’d rather you be prepared for the worst and everything end up good than you have regrets later.

My Dad was born in 1924 and his Mom used to take him to Creve Coeur Lake when he was a kid. A street car ran from the city all the way out there. I grew up not far from there but now live near your area. The picture of my grandparents is old and faded but she was religious about putting names and places on every picture.

You got this! I divorced and had never lived alone - young love right into marriage. I lost 50 pounds in a few months from stress after I filed 7 years ago.
BUT I took time for me. I am now married to a wonderful man. My ex and I don't speak since the kids are legally adults now. Always remember he is your past, your future is open to anything!
Very proud of you for taking this hard step!
