I'm Divorced!

I saw this thread by **commasense **announcing his engagement.

Congratulations, **comma **(can I call you comma?)

I thought as the perfect bookend, I’d announce to all and sundry that as of July 15th I’m officially single again. Not that I haven’t dated or gotten laid at all in the last 8 years by someone other than my wife but … I’ve gotten ahead of myself.

You see, we married way back in the last century. 1999 to be accurate. We lasted about 2 years before things fell apart. And by ‘things falling apart’ I mean, she fucking me over. But that’s neither here nor there.

Since then, I moved back to Maine (from California) and we remained separated all this time. By virtue of she be extremely flighty, and me being … well, extremely flighty too - not to mention us being 3000 miles apart - we never got the i’s crossed or the t’s dotted.

Until now.

Now I can get married again.

Of course, I would never be so stupid ast to give *that *another try, but I could if I wanted to.

I think I’ll throw myself another bachelor party.

I’m not sure what to say–do you say congrats or sorry on this kind of event? Virtual hugs?

Also, your divorce date is the same date as my parents’ wedding anniversary.

My son has been trying to get divorced for 3 years now. I hope to hell it doesn’t take 8!!

Congrats!

Oh, I’m way beyond sorry. So to speak.

COngratulations! I’ll have a beer tonight in celebration.
I was going to have a beer anyway but at least now I have a reason.

The proper reponse is PHEW!

At least that’s how I felt when my bf’s divorce finally went through. Because that meant we were no longer committing adultery!

Just fornication.

I definitely thing divorce is a proper, celebratory milestone. And so is the day you leave.

I officially drove off from my husband on February 13th - a day I now celebrate as “Happy Trails Day!”

Conga-rats on getting your eyes dotted!

Congrats man.

Miss you! :slight_smile:

Congratulations!

Ditto.

I keep forgetting about Old School Doper nights on IRC. Is there one scheduled tonight?

And it’s goooooooooood.

Congratulations!

I’m not divorced. Or married. Or engaged.

Sigh.

Well done, mine only took 2 years but it was hell.

My advice is to start drinking heavily.

Way ahead of you.

Bet you are the bestest surly chick EVAH. for realz. :smiley:

Congrats are in order. You will not feel the full benefits of this decision until years later when you realize what you escaped-unless you repeat the error of your ways.

Being married or divorced is not a crime. Maybe it should be. You decide.

Since I’m not single and thus no longer have to compete with you for women, congratulations.

To all the ladies out there: I’m sorry. Run for it.

No. I think the next one might be in September sometime.

I don’t think he’d make it this far.

I SAID RUN FOR IT GODDAMNIT! THERE’S NO TIME!!
