That’s a nice sentiment that seems appropriate for a divorce situation. I will gladly second (or third) it. 
Mmm, peach cobbler. They had ginger peach cobbler on Supernatural last night - I think I might have to look up a recipe.
That sounds like a fabulous celebration. In your honor I ate a piece of marble cake with chocolate icing. It wasn’t because I wanted cake, of course, but since we are celebrating I felt it was the most appropriate choice. 
To honor my divorce, I had professional pictures taken. Sorta like wedding pictures … only not. 
I even had ice cream with the peach cobbler. I really went all out!
Do I get to make this party last all weekend? There’s probably other fun stuff out there I haven’t eaten in a while.
If you are, hopefully she won’t find out.
Baseball and ballet on the same day; what do you wear for a trip like that?
Oh. A ball cap might even be a little overly formal for an occasion like that.
Let’s just hope she never finds out about the Dope!!!
I always find it terribly cute when you and your lady post right after each other in a relationships thread
May all the people involved, both directly and indirectly, be happier from now on!
Yeah…might have a problem there already.
Although we do tend to point out certain threads to each other, the simulposting thing is pretty much never on purpose. But we laugh.
On the more serious side again, I guess some of the reality of the situation hit home a bit yesterday afternoon at work. Being officially divorced meant I needed to make some changes to my emergency contact and beneficiary information with my employer. It was a little surreal to essentially be stating on paper that this person has no role in my life any longer. So many people that get divorced have kids to contend with and/or property that keeps them tied together. But in our case, we have only a couple of bank accounts to close, and we’re able to walk away from each other completely.
We had an email exchange yesterday regarding some minutiae that ended with “take care.” And really, with that, we never need have anything to do with one another ever again in life. I think that’s where the sad part of this comes in. Leaving the relationship aside, there was a great friendship that lasted well over a decade that got crushed to the point where all we’re able to muster at the end is a “see ya!”
Still, plenty of people end up in bad situations that they’re never able to extract themselves from. I’m grateful to not be one of those people. I get a second chance at life, and I’m already well down that path. Life 2.0 looks pretty good from where I’m sitting.
Welcome to the Next Chapter in your life!
FWIW, my husband’s grandmother married at 18, divorced at 21ish and remained best friends with her ex for the rest of her life. When he died, she took care of his funeral arrangements, much to the annoyance of his wife.
This is exactly what I stated when driving home after my divorce was finalized.
Ok. I was hoping it was something like that. Sweet.
In my neck of the woods, we call it “Canadian Ballet.”
WELL WE’RE OUT OF CAKE!!! Only had three bits and we didn’t expect such a rush.
The cake was a lie, anyway.
