I got divorced in 2019. I think I’ve been pushing it off, but I haven’t ever processed it nor discussed it even w my therapist. I’ve had a few relationships, which have been a distraction, but we remained friends; eventually she was probably my best friend. There’s still a bond, but a friendship one. We had separated a few times prior but (obviously) got back together. This time I moved from WI to AZ and we went through the divorce.
It stung when I learned she was getting married, sold ‘our’ house, and was going to move in with him. Apparently it imploded because she left him, and the guests, standing at the altar. I chuckled, because I never, ever would have pegged her doing that. I was glad.
I moved back to WI, and she invited me to stay, which I did for six months. We played with our dogs often, fell asleep together, bc of the dogs, on her gigantic couch, but never had romantic inclinations or mentioned getting back together. I think we may have tried, by holding hands a few times walking our dogs. It felt natural and familiar, but at a friendship level. Maybe we just made better friends than lovers.
