Now… I would have come back sooner and given an update and perhaps shared some things...but first and foremost you don't discuss details of a divorce while it's still being negotiated...I'm really surprised no one thought of that...but maybe more so because some of you ladies are so disappointing, in the way you conduct yourselves...you really are.
Reading truly is fundamental. You took a story from 2008 which was all true, that I did turn into a novel and tried to say what... that somehow because I’m a writer, that my real life wasn't real. For the record my husband (as he will be for the next what...11 days) was and is everything I said he was. But he is not the person I wrote the novel about…and I never said he was perfect, but he did and does still love me very much.
I also never said I was in love, for those of you who think you're so good at digging...go find the post where I said I'm not in love but I love and will always respect him. Sometimes it takes more than love to stay in a marriage.
And yes it was all that, and sometimes all that glitters is gold. But what if gold isn't enough or maybe I just realized I don't want gold. I think for some of you a working black man, who cooks, cleans and throws it down in bed is a...how do we say it here? A unicorn...you don't think it can't exist because you’ve never had one...so you can hardly imagine someone finding one and then not wanting it.
I came here to tell you that yes my husband is a good man, he didn't do anything to me there was no big thing that happened and whomever gets him will hopefully have a level of compatibility that he deserves. It wasn't me. I’m different and I want someone who is different. That's not a crime...it is self-awareness and a blessing to have, no matter how late in the game it comes. I made a mistake in getting married but wasn't going to make another one by staying in it.
For those of you naysayers who have spent time gathering in the fields with your curdled thoughts, congratulating yourselves on the demise of my marriage…gnashing your teeth because I won’t tell you what happened...it's none of your business. So get over it.
Still despite the negativity and thoughtless mumblings you posted, I truly wish that one day you find a love you deserve so that you can stop being so bitter and always wanting to find the worst in other's relationships. You will not find happiness by wishing ill onto others. It just won't happen...what you put out to the universe is all the universe knows to give you back. Being a miserable person only begets misery. Stop doing that.
Lastly, to those of you who wished me well, called me or pm'd me...thank you for that and for being there. You know how much I appreciate the friendship we've made over the years. But as many of you already know I am fine, I am well and all is good. I'm happy and elated with the thought of being able to move on.
