so, my marriage has been annulled.
which, um, means it kind of sort of never existed, as I understand it.
so, do I have an "ex-husband?" and if not what to I call him? my old roommate? ;)
seriously though. I don't understand the Catholic church. I mean, it's great or whatever, but I can't quite wrap my head around it. Oh well.
time to pack for VA!!!

Congratulations on never having participated in one of the church's holiest sacraments.
It's like you can write the whole thing off as a drunken misunderstanding, with humourous and embarassing consequences when you wake up the next day...
...like I'm going to do with last night.
So, that's how it ends? you change your entire life on something you were oh-so-sure about and now it's like you just tried a new, trendy diet that didn't work out...? I'm rather disapointed to hear that.
That's okay, anonymous.
We were all disappointed you didn't sign your name.
Except me. I have no interest whatsoever in knowing who you are.
it’s not anything like a trendy diet, thank you anonymous. except that maybe both can cause stress or something. but that's about the extent of the similarity between that and a divorce--well, that and they're both nouns that start with a “d.” yikes.
it's more like a heart-wrenching, horrible terrible realization that something you once wanted so badly can't work, and won't work, and isn't what's best for you. it's a difficult process where words are said that aren't meant, and some that are meant aren't said. it's cutting ties with someone who at one point seemed like everything to you. it's stress, it's crying, it's mustering confidence, holding your tongue, it's trying to see if you can even ever still be friends. it's trying not to say mean things, trying not to be hateful, trying to be compassionate while still holding your ground. it's doing things you swore you'd never do to cope with a situation you swore you'd never be in.
and it's effing hard.
so seriously, seriously, retract it, anonymous—even if it’s just in your head. maybe you mean well, and thanks for offering your opinion. but for goodness sakes give both him and me the benefit of the doubt.
and also for the record, it ended long long ago. this is just the aftermath.
sigh.
i wish I hadn't felt obligated to respond to your comment. but, alas, I did.
and, um, have a nice day.
PS-Adam, I don't know yet. Hopefully I'll know soon.
