And Now, Single

I was married in the summer of 1999, when I was thirty years old. I think that was far too young an age for me to get married.

I chose my bride poorly. That is not to say she was not a nice person. She was. She is. But we had no business getting married. But we can delve into the failures of my marriage in later posts.

We separated in 2009.When Wifey left, she left our daughter with me. For that I will be forever grateful. We were separated for three years. We recently had our day in court and were able to come to come to an agreement. I have custody of our tween daughter, and she has standard visitation. I pay her a little alimony and for her attorney. I get to keep my 401k and pension. She gets the patio furniture and lawnmower.

I am okay with those conditions. And life begins anew.
