Update on Me

Stephileigh84

I'm alone but alive. I'm breathing, drinking wine and eating chocolate. I'm watching girlie movies. And I will survive.

He's all moved out. It's all done. Now if I can just find someone to buy my wedding dress... ... ... ...

And I'm taking a mini vacation in 2 weeks. I can't wait.

**and I've already been asked out on a date** hello ego boost.

That's awesome to hear.  I can't imagine what you are going through, but it is good to hear that you are doing okay.

hmonkey

i'm sorry you have to deal with this and the new format at the same time.  woe.

dress pics, please.

I am so glad to hear you are moving forward and making the best out of this.

I think you're a really strong person for doing this.  And really, if he hasn't been paying his half of your together life, I can't see really missing HIM all that much except for companionship overall.

What was the dress?  You might try the dress board or Craigslist.

VarunaTT

Did anyone else see this suddenly say the author was Fenton?

Mrs.Thistletwat

I'm glad you posted. I admit that I was a little concerned.

Keep repeating to yourself that you're better off without him. And awesome about the ego boost! That's always nice.

Where are you going on Mini-vacation?

hmonkey

i see abbyplaninsek

Mrs.Thistletwat

I see Stephi.

And Stephi - get rid of your ticker and "badges" get something bitter and mean

VarunaTT

I saw _Fenton.

*suspicious side eye*

And I know some accounts have been merging.

TheDuckis

I see Stephi.

I'm really glad you went through with this. I promise you'll be better off in the long run, and not paying your ex's living expenses for the rest of your life will more than cover the cost of the dress )

You definitely deserve all the wine and chocolate you can eat and drink. A few days of sadness is a small price to pay for avoiding lifetime with a deadbeat.

Glad to hear you are alive and functioning. And I second the suggestions to try the dress board or craigslist.

L_Woods

Glad to hear the good, yet difficult news. I'll have a glass or two of wine for you as well.

Where's the mini-vacay?

MinM

You could also try your local board to unload the dress. But, you got rid of the guy, which is the most important thing. Now you can spend all of your money on you!

Schmoopita

Hang in there. You are so much better off. I will secretly toast your new life when I'm out tomorrow night.

Things will get better, I promise. Just don't end up "getting your groove back" on your vacation like Stella did. No marrying a gay man who only wants a green card!

Cant_wait!

this is good to hear stephi! I'm proud of you, imaginary internet friend that I just met.

WTF all that stuff was gone till the boards went all nuts-o.

And the dress is Maggie Sottero Halle in white... it's not even going to be in until February, but they won't cancel my order.
