Thank you for this article. You write beautifully and, I think, truthfully. Having just been left by my spouse of 40 years, I’m still in shock and unable to benefit right now from your advice. However, I expect it will roll around in my head for awhile and be available when I need it.
Do keep writing!

Can’t say that I read every word…but what I read helped. I’ve been blind sided and am still so in love w/ him – but I refuse to be a victim. We were married for 10 years…how can someone walk away from that? sigh…

I just found your blog through a link to your most recent post. I enjoyed that post and wanted to read some more so I decided to start at the beginning. Wow, this post is very timely and feels like you are writing from my life. Thank you for so eloquently describing the situation from all sides. I am now adding you to my reader so I can read from the beginning.

Just found your blog and this post – I wish i’d had this when I left my exhusband last October, instead of a chorus of friends who convinced me i’d been abused, convinced me to get a restraining order. Months later, I was at least able to drop the restraining order and apologize for a few of my more grevious sins.

Anyway, thank you. Our divorce just went through in May, but maybe in time we’ll be friendly, maybe even friends.

Great job – I can relate to everything. Even to MJ as I know that side too. There are so many circumstance that can compound the problems, includng mental illness, pyschopaths, lawyers, substance abuse, violence.. I could go on forever.

I like that the author did not dwell on the extremes, but stuck to the things we all have in common. It can be hard to find reason to laugh when you are going through it – but thanks for succeeding!!

I wish this had been available to me when I divorced (1991) I had to learn all this by trial and error lots of errors. Thanks

Thank you. You just confirmed my strategy. I just got divorced this summer. I left my wife, and she went crazy and tried to destroy every relationship in my life from my mother to my job. I never got angry or vengeful because I knew that she was going through a lot of shit, and, like you say, was just recently my best friend and most important part of my life. My friends wanted me to have her arrested, vandalize her house, etc…, but after a week or so, she calmed down, apologized, and now we’re almost friends, but at least can wave and smile at each other when we meet on campus.
