#divorce
ok. it's gonna be hot girl winter 2024 babies because i am filing for #DIVORCE
A close friend is also going through a #separation. She's the one person who fully understands what I'm going through, so we get together and talk for hours, knowing that we won't judge or get bored.
But we're different too. Every minute of a separation is challenging, but I'm determined to get through it without bitterness. Just because she doesn't want to be with me doesn't mean my wife is a bad person.
My friend is different. "I need to hate him," she says. "It makes me happy."
FTISLAND's Choi Min-hwan and LABOUM's Yulhee have officially filed for divorce, marking the end of their 5-year marriage.

All relationships are about trust. If your spouse has an emotional or physical relationship outside of marriage, then it is an abuse of trust. It's over. Who would want a business partner that lies? Why is a spouse different? #infidelity #deceit #affairs #divorce https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2023/10/13/affair-infidelity-disclosure/

Today in Labor History November 23, 1644: At the height of the English Civil War, John Milton published an anti-censorship pamphlet, “Areopagitica.” He had been censored several times, particularly in his attempts to defend divorce, a radical idea in those days. He anonymously published “The Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce” (1643), which was condemned by the Puritan clergy as heretical and supportive of sexual libertinism.

I’ve been over exercising and starving myself to lose weight. I know that I’m more attractive when I’m lean, so this is all part of looking for validation from others. I know that exercise and love addiction are my means of self medicating for the absence of love from my mum during my early years and childhood, and yet I seem unable to change. I’m also using these things to deal with the pain of my separation from my own kids since the #divorce. At least I’m not medicating with drugs.

Doing #research for a book led me to #divorce rate #statistics in #Aotearoa NZ.
Turns out there's a MASSIVE spike in divorces in 1981 & 1982.
Like, 1980:9%, 1981:11.9%, 1982:17.1%(!!), 1983:13.3% - and then it stabilises back out at about 11% for the next 30 odd years.
Anyone know what might be the cause of that?
Incidentally, there's also a precipitous plummit in marriages after 1971. Any known reasons for that?
Boosts welcome.

I went to pick up medicine at the local CVS pharmacy.
While I was waiting in line, a woman was talking to a child. Eventually, I realized that she was speaking French. So I asked her, and she's from France. She came to the US about 17 years ago. She asked me about my story and I mentioned that I came 26 years ago because of my ex-wife, but that we're now divorced. She said she was divorcing. I got my medicine and we parted way.
" :headache: She's divorcing. You're divorced. Why did you not hit on her?"
She looked great, no doubt. However, I'm not great about hitting on people IRL, out of the blue. Also, the chances that she'd be into me are pretty slim. She'd have to be happy with my pansexuality, my polyamory, my BDSM-ness, etc.
On my way to the pharmacy, I also checked out a local international grocery store. They have bananas. I might pick up some this weekend, and maybe get some other stuff.

"What a Nine-Year-Old Kiwi Taught Me About Divorce the Other Day"
Today is a very hard day for me
It’s my 16th wedding anniversary, but my marriage is ending and I’m grieving sorely for the loss of the future I had hoped for my family 😢
I’d love to hear any stories from parents who have come out on the other side of divorce and are doing OK 🙏🏼
It’s been a big week - the final part of my #divorce settlement came through - implementation of the pension sharing order, and I’ve paid the final bill to the solicitor 😅. I’m getting there with my new (used) car in terms of sorting some teething issues - technical and bureaucratic with the DVLA 😬. And my ex’s cat has gone back to live with her. I’ve also started some workshop sessions with a mediator to try to build my kids’ confidence so that they’ll spend more time with me.

Today, I decided to pay a visit to the neighborhood in which I grew up as a kid. On my way there, I was reflecting on my childhood. Hong Kong by Gorillaz came on YouTube Music. (Yes, I play YouTube Music in my car.)
That's when it hit me.
What an eventful life I've lived! Who could have predicted it? I had a heart attack, and cancer. I've moved from Canada to the US to be with a lady for 26 years, though we're now divorced. I've been to India, Taiwan, and yes, Hong Kong, too. I have a bachelor's, a master's and a Ph.D. I've discovered late that I'm autistic. I've reasserted my true identity as pansexual and polyamorous, a little prior to discovering my autism.
Wow!
Maybe my epitaph will read:
"If nothing else, this man has definitely led an eventful life."

In 2016, 2-year-old Insiya Hemani was abducted by a group of men sent by her father, Shehzad Hemani, while she was with her grandmother in Amsterdam. The men also assaulted the elderly woman. Despite efforts to find Insiya, she was smuggled out of the Netherlands without her passport. Shehzad Hemani was convicted in absentia and faces a nine-year prison sentence if apprehended. Insiya, now 8 years old, remains in captivity, with reports of her crying day and night.

After leaving her marriage, Lyz Lenz found herself with stretches of time on her own. "Every day I was alone, I had to ask myself, What do I want to eat? The question seemed impossible," she says. For her Substack, she talked to Margaret Eby, who is working on a book about eating alone. "Margaret helped me understand how what we eat when we eat alone can help us become the purest expression of ourselves — in all our dirtbag glory," Lenz says.

2/ So I can no longer talk about romance or work on the Twitter account. Sooo I talk about romance here.. and can say stuff about work that I wouldn't say with my name attached to it. So I guess in a long rambly kind of way, that's my personal #introduction thing for mastodon. You can also expect me to spam you with music that I'm currently listening to. And regular updates on my f*cked #mentalhealth. And thoughts about #relationships and #sex. And processing the emotions of #divorce.
Because it’s important to never lose yourself inside of the expectations and limitations of others, here is something to reflect on today:

Chance of divorce within the first 10 years, by age at first marriage: US, 2021.

A thread about #relationships and #divorce
1/9 I met Red on Twitter, maybe three weeks before I left my wife of 20 years. The marriage was dead before it started, but I was too (mentally) ill to do the right thing and walk away before making the big commitments - the mortgage, marriage then kids.
Red was beautiful, intelligent, kind and kinky. She was running a peer to peer support community for a particular group of people.
Transformation is messy. Having someone who can help navigate change can help you evolve into your next stage.

@GottaLaff @jysexton We should be clear that the #GOP isn't calling for a "#divorce"; they're calling for a #CivilWar that will give them the excuse to suspend the #Constitution, overthrow the American government with their #RepublicanTerrorist brownshirts, declare martial law, and install a #Republican #FourthReich #fascist dictatorship.
At this pace, soon even #Democrats will support a #national #divorce
I'm having some interesting and unusually productive conversations with my ex, today. Very pleased.
I am reminded that although there are many situations where asking permission would be wrong and unnecessary, telling people what is going on is a sign of respect and an act of kindness.
Even if it's bad or uncomfortable news.
Especially then, actually. People hate surprises.
… 2/2
I love her to bits but I realized after my parents #divorce some years ago (I'm from a rare breed of people who got to see their parents got through a hateful divorce at adulthood) that, even she wanted to do good, she actually got me some of my worst traits. She resorted to #shame to correct me when I was a teen.
I remember when I got too much 'feminine manners' when I was around 15 - she imitated me, parroted me - it shamed me so much that it indeed corrected me, I lost the 'feminine' presenting but also got me big issues about trust. To this day I have a broken psyche. I have a diagnosis of #borderline personality disorder and I'm always jumpy about what I tell people about my truth.
On the other hand, she can give incredible advice. She was always there for me and always accepted me and my boyfriends. She tried, in her broken way, to make me as she thought would be a easier way to navigate the world. She's still trying, sometimes. But I'm not having none of her shit anymore. I'm my own person.
Welp.
Sold a house now just trying to figure out if I can buy another one
:blobcat_pat:
My old house is up on the market as of today.
I’m looking forward but it leaves a twinge thinking of the life I won’t have that I thought I’d build there.
Hard to deal with when the future feels so amorphous.
I feel like I don’t know who I’m even going to be in a few months.
Woah. The paperwork for my Legal Separation was couriered by a bike messenger to the courthouse an hour ago.
It'll be a bit until the judge's signature makes it a Final Judgment (since I'm pretty sure our paperwork will pass through the clerk just fine), but this is just as momentous as when I left Florence, Italy at the end of September 2021 and decided I was no longer a husband.
It's been a long time and a lot has happened, mayhaps I'll write more as it does...

I paid off the last of my #creditcarddebt last night.
Several years ago I went through a #divorce and the card became a very important way to make ends meet as a newly and unexpectedly single dad. I also struggled with #loneliness and #depression and spent money I didn't have on things I didn't need.
It's impossible to overstate the sense of relief I feel right now.
