Divorce Diaries (Part 22: Experiencing the first Holidays after Separation)

December 14, 2025

          It’s been almost 6 full months since I’ve been “physically separated” from my soon-to-be ex-husband, and words can’t even begin to describe the emotional roller coaster during this time. It’s so weird, because it’s not the typical emotions that I would’ve expected.  We’ve been mentally and emotionally separated long before we moved out, so … More Divorce Diaries (Part 22: Experiencing the first Holidays after Separation)

Divorce Diaries (Part 21: When People Congratulate You for Your Divorce… Thanks??)

September 29, 2025

          There are a lot of things I might not understand. Sometimes I take things as signs, and sometimes I’m just left pondering and second guessing everything. Usually when people find out that you’re getting a divorce they say things like: “I’m so sorry” or “I’m so sorry to hear that.” But not in this … More Divorce Diaries (Part 21: When People Congratulate You for Your Divorce… Thanks??)

Divorce Diaries (Part 20: When the Haunting Dreams Emerge)

August 31, 2025

          I don’t know if most people can relate to this, but maybe you can if you’re a person who tends to dream vivid dreams every night. A lot of people can’t remember their dreams, and it’s very seldom when they mention a dream that they have had, whereas I’ve been the type of person … More Divorce Diaries (Part 20: When the Haunting Dreams Emerge)

Divorce Diaries (Part 19: When 2 months ago feels like Years ago.)

August 21, 2025

          This process has been interesting to say the least. It’s been 7 to 8 weeks since the move and oddly enough, it feels like it was so long ago. You know that weird feeling when you think back to your adolescent relationships and it was so long ago that it almost feels like it … More Divorce Diaries (Part 19: When 2 months ago feels like Years ago.)

Divorce Diaries (Part 18: Feeling Two Things at Once)

August 3, 2025

          Feeling two things at once is an interesting feeling. You go from wanting to keep your distance but wanting to make sure that they’re taking care of themselves. You go from feeling a sense of hostility, to worrying about them. The love doesn’t stop just because you’re feeling resentful, frustrated, or upset, and I … More Divorce Diaries (Part 18: Feeling Two Things at Once)

Divorce Diaries (Part 17: Just Breathe, Shake it Off and Keep Moving Forward)

July 17, 2025

          This week’s post will be fairly short. I was going to skip this week, but since I skipped the first Thursday after the move, I decided to go ahead and give another weekly update. I will say not much has changed since my last post. I’ve still been adjusting, trying to figure out what’s … More Divorce Diaries (Part 17: Just Breathe, Shake it Off and Keep Moving Forward)

Divorced Diaries (Part 16: Adjusting to my New Surroundings After the Move.)

July 10, 2025

          It’s been a rough start since I officially moved out of my home. I knew that I would miss my place and what I’ve grown accustomed to over the years, but it was even the little things that I didn’t think about that made the transition harder. My soon-to-be ex-husband moved out a little … More Divorced Diaries (Part 16: Adjusting to my New Surroundings After the Move.)

Divorce Diaries (Part 15: Packing Up the Memories)

June 26, 2025

          I can’t wait until this month comes to an end. I’ve been stressing so much during this move. I hate packing. It’s insane how much one can accumulate over the years. I need to start embracing minimalism in the near future. I hold onto way too many things. It’s ridiculous. I’ve never been one … More Divorce Diaries (Part 15: Packing Up the Memories)

Divorce Diaries (Pt 14: Physically Separated. Finally living apart…)

June 19, 2025

          I’ve been thinking about how things were going to be during this time since January, and now that the time has come, it’s been interesting to say the least. It has been a few days since my soon-to-be ex-husband started sleeping at his new place and the emotions have been quite magenta (in the … More Divorce Diaries (Pt 14: Physically Separated. Finally living apart…)

Divorce Diaries (Part 13: And Just Like That… I found a Reason to feel Hopeful.)

June 12, 2025

          Throughout this journey of slowly separating, I’ve felt so many emotions. More than I could ever imagine. It hasn’t been a straight line, downward slope or a uphill slope. It has been a roller coaster of zigzags, but one feeling that has remained constant is ….fear. Fear of the unknown. It’s scary you know, … More Divorce Diaries (Part 13: And Just Like That… I found a Reason to feel Hopeful.)
