I'm sure that nobody has thought of my little blog in a very long time, but it hasn't sat right with me to leave it unfinished, so open. So this is it, the end of this blog and hopefully the beginning of something else.

Last June, just over a year ago, I left M. There were lots of reasons, and it's not fair for me to spill them here, where you only get one side of the story. Two months later, I came back to town, and we tried to work things out, or at least went through the motions. But the damage was done, and we'd probably each say that the other didn't fight hard enough. We spent six months going up and down, round and round, but ultimately decided to divorce, which was final in March.

I spent a lot of time focusing on how I felt M failed me as a husband. I'm now reaching the point of understanding how we both failed together, our mutual mistakes. My comfort is that when I get another chance with someone new, I will actually be the amazing wife I tried to be for M, and I'll finally get the true partnership that we never quite achieved. Life is learning, right?
