I find it interesting, that choice of words. In my case, I didn't ever say that because I didn't mean that. "I need a divorce" would have been much more accurate. But unfortunately, my situation didn't lend itself to a conversation before I filed. That day was hard. The day it was final was hard. There is no rejoicing in the death of a marriage you had so much hope for.
Honestly until a few weeks before I filed, I planned to file for legal separation. I wanted to work on our marriage and be a redemption story that you hear about…but it just was not to be. It became clear that for our protection, I needed to file for divorce. It was and is tough to face that reality. I am so thankful for Cameron though I would be lying if I said I haven't thought that given the choice I would have taken a different path to get her (I know that's not possible…). We keep moving forward. For now that is enough! We just gotta get through August (and we WILL)...
