I guess I have to start blogging again...

...seeing as I'm getting divorced and all. I think blogger might be my new home. Like so many things, livejournal seems to be a thing of the past.

Things aren't nasty, which is refreshing, but they aren't actually comfortable either. It's probably the strangest break-up I've ever been through, honestly. I think we really threw the marriage counselor for a loop when, during our first session after spending 30 minutes giving her the background we replied to her question of "so what are your goals for couple's therapy?" with:

"You want to get divorced?" (me).
"Yeah, I think I do" (him).

"So I guess you're not coming back for another session, huh?" (her).

damn, that sucks (what a shite description on my behalf too)....sorry, its never easy no matter how much you both feel like you're on the same page.

Upside, you've done counseling and prolly learned a bunch through that process.

blogger helped me get through a long divorce, so i'm sure it can do the same for you. it hasn't helped me become a better person on the other side of it all, ready to face the brave new world... but i shouldn't have expected it could do that.

mini: it's not so much that i need help going through the divorce--that part has been mostly painless so far--but it's getting the rest of my life back that i'm worried about. it's a great deal easier to go from "me" to "we" than it is to go back.

but i'm firmly convinced that there's no better way to rediscover/reawaken parts of one's personality than by narcissistic narrative self-indulgence.

I'm proof positive of that!
