Here's the rub.

Ok, so I'll just come out and say it.  I'm single now. It happened about a month ago.  A couple of  days after his last exam, he told me he didn't love me anymore and that he was leaving. Just like that.
 I knew things hadn't perfect, but I guess I was willing to put up with the way it was existing.
  In hindsight our relationship had been slipping for some time.  Life gets in the way, people grow apart and change and before you know it you're avoiding the person. You don't even know who they are any more. You literally don't recognize them.  But, this happens.  Was I devastated?  Yes. But was I surprised?  No.
It would have happened eventually in a few years when he got his second degree and got a job.
  We're signing the separation papers this week.   It's all done. Seven years. Joint custody and a handshake and see ya later.
Life is funny. Here's the thing....be careful what you wish for, because it just might come true. 
So?  Now what, you ask?  (or maybe you didn't) Well, I've picked my self up, dusted myself off,  and re-decorated.
I'm ready to turn 40 and see what life as a newly-single-working-mom feels like.  Care to come along for the ride?
I'll be blogging about my thoughts, trials and tribulations and possibly future dating adventures.
You can be a fly on the wall.  On my newly painted kitchen wall actually.
