The divorce happened on Wednesday and took all of 10 minutes.
I don't think my lawyer knew really what to make of us because when she walked into the waiting area my ex-wife and I were sitting together. My ex started to cry while we were waiting and my lawyer was asking some questions. So I put my arm around her. I was cracking jokes to keep her at ease. I think my lawyer was expecting us to be at each other's throats. Which we're not because it does nothing to help us or the kids to be that way.
I will say that she has already moved on and had a date last night. That hurt a bit and I did feel a bit alone, but I was able to work through that pain and feeling of loneliness.
I also need to remember that her and I really are better as friends than spouses. What we have now works for us. We have a better relationship as friends than we ever did as spouses.
For her to be happy is what I want for her.
