The Hard Ships

Since I am still going through the process of divorce, things are still shaky when I speak to my soon to be ex. The conversations are never easy. Things keep getting brought up. Why did you leave? When did your mind change and you didn't see growing old together anymore? I should have been a better husband. It just goes on and on. It breaks my heart every time I hear it but not enough to go back into it.
It's unfortunate that a book (which turned into a movie) had to wake me up and make me realize I was not in a good situation anymore. Because of issues in the past everything was built up and suppressed since I though nothing would changed. I did state my cases on many many occasions and yet nothing was solved. I lost my voice. I lost who I was and what I wanted out of life. I was an empty shell of a person. I even began losing my humor. That is definitely a HUGE problem since it's one of my best assets. I love to laugh but at the time I didn't as much as I use to.
When I was younger I was addicted to happy endings in movies and books. I loved the prince on the white horse with his mighty sword. I imagined him rescuing me from an evil monster and we road off into the sunset. I thought that once you found that prince life would be wonderful forever. They never explained the other garbage that happens after the I do's. Shame on all of the creators of fantasy for that one. Why couldn't they give us some tips to go along with the happy ending. Well anyways I learned after getting into a relationship that it was a lot of work. There was no such thing as a happy endings without getting dirty. Unfortunately due to the circumstances surrounding me leaving my marriage, I won't be able to look at him in the same light.
I think it's finally hitting him I'm not coming back into his life as his wife but as a friend. That is all I can give him after this. Sorry I had to let out some steam. I bet there are people out there going through the same situation. Hopefully someone finds this blog and tells me it'll eventually get easier...
