Well….it’s official.
I’m divorced!
Is it bad that I put an exclamation point after that? I never wanted to get divorced in my life and my Catholic upbringing is trying it’s best to make it seem bad to use exclamation points.
But honestly, I don’t care. I’m divorced!!!
Anyway, I got the paperwork yesterday. I was initially scared of that moment when I would open my mailbox and find it waiting for me. But that was so not the case. I can’t tell you how truly free I feel. In a way, I’m glad that it took this long to complete because the emotions just aren’t there. Instead, I feel like it’s a big item checked off the to-do list.
Coincidentally, I talked to Brian last night on the phone because I’m helping him with a little web project. He hadn’t gotten his papers yet, and so I broke it to him. He was a little bit sad about it, but nothing major. We’re both happy that we can walk away and be friends.
Now that this weight is off my shoulders, I feel strangely less guilty. I feel no regrets. There’s no wonder about if I made the right decision. I know it was the right decision. And I think that’s all I was hoping for.
OH! And to anyone who is wondering, I am not changing my name just yet. It’s a long complicated story, but for the time being you can still call me Rochelle Scott.

Congrats! I can imagine that would be very liberating to finally feel free. Yay for you! And I am also glad that you guys are still friends, because he’s a nice guy too. I’m happy for you both.
Thanks! Yeah, I couldn’t have asked for a better situation IF I had to go through divorce. I’ve learned so much about myself and about how to make smarter choices in the future. I will never enter into a lifetime commitment lightly again, because the next time I do, I want it to be for my lifetime.
I’m glad you and your ex ended things so well.
