As some of my really good and close friends on here know, I'm in the middle of a divorce and today is the day I move out of my house. I can't believe how quickly this day came, but it's here and now time to face the music.
I absolutely love my house (1st house) and now have to move to a very small 1 bdrm apartement. It's nice, but very small. My wife and I have struggled with things for a couple of years, but kept putting this off to focus on her pregnancy, then the birth of our daughter. We've come to the realization that we're both not as happy as we feel we can be and finally decided to go through with this a couple of months ago. We're great friends and it's as amicable as possible. We're both using the same attorney, who's also a MLB umpire and great friend of mine.
I took a 1/2 day today to wrap up what few small things I have left to do and have friends coming over this evening to help with the big stuff. I'm both anxious and scared at the same time, as being alone is something I'm not looking forward to. I've been hiding this all well, but fear the second my friends leave this weekend, my new reality is going to sink in. Just wish I could fast-forward to 6 months from now to see how I'm doing, you know?
I've been hesitant to post this here (it's not on either of our Facebooks), but the brotherhood and friends for life I've gained through this site has been helping me more than I could possibly describe. The constant phone calls and texts checking up on me really help.
Not sure how active I'll be on here for the next week or two, but simply wanted to provide an explanation and let you all know what's going on in my life.
Your friend and brother,
Jeffrey L.
