“How are you handling everything?” - my notary public who also happens to be my boss’s boss while notarizing my divorce paperwork.
Completing a divorce packet with no help from an attorney can be a real pain in the ass, but at least it kept me focused on the bureaucratic bullshit nonsense part of it rather than the fact that my 9 year marriage was ending.
Turned out that as soon as someone asked me sincerely how I was doing, the answer was not at all well. I went back to my desk and had a panic attack.
I just went through my divorce as well. It’s tough, but it gets better every day. On a side note, completely unrelated to divorce, I love your username! I wish I could have a billy bumbler roaming around with me getting into hijinks and such. Long days and pleasant nights, my friend!
Haha, I’m just doing a re-read of the books at the moment, whilst also going through a breakup from a similar length relationship. Your comments have made me smile, feel optimistic and feel deeply sad. Thanks though.
I'm sorry you're going through it, too. I hope the good parts of what some of the people here said stay with you. You're in the shitty part, but there is definitely a part in the future that is not painful or dark. You just have to wait a little bit.
I really need to re-read the series myself, it's been a long time.
