I can start. I spent a few days with friends. We didn’t do anything that special but it’s good to catch up and soak up some positivity from them.

    My wife and I had been trying for a child. Then she left me 2 weeks ago.
    The best thing that happened to me this week was finding out she’s not pregnant.
    Also, instead of despair or grief over the separation, literally all I feel is relief.

        It hit me like a semi truck, cause shit went sideways out of nowhere within 2 weeks.
        But she’s moved out without a fuss, our finances are separate, and I kept the cats.
        Still kind of numb, but I also massively enjoy the quiet and relaxation right now.
        The marriage was exciting, but it was also a constant whirlwind.

          Thats wild, from married to moved out that fast. I’m sorry things turned out that way. I went through a shockingly similar experience last year, so I know how difficult that can be. Grief comes in waves and out of nowhere sometimes. Silver linings like kitties and quiet nights are the little things that can help a lot, I found.

            Thanks for your kind words.
            Yeah, I’m sure the grief will still come.
            And it’ll be hard to achieve my dream of becoming a father now, as a 41 year old single…
