OMG, youse guyz.
Where do I even begin??
So, last night I was working away, tippity tap on my computer, working late…when I get a call from SexyPants telling me that he’s at the airport in [my city] on a layover and missed his connecting flight because of weather and did I want to get a drink?
I found myself picking him up at the airport–a happy surprise–and we drove to this groovy bar where I drank Rose Champagne and he had Scotch and we talked and talked and it was FUN (though I was a little stressed out because of work, etc. and I was so tired).
Anyway, conversation flowed and at the very end of our conversation, I said that something was bugging me and I needed to ask him a question.
I asked him about the “legal separation” and why he didn’t actually get a divorce.
He looked at me, shocked and surprised and said that he really was divorced, of course!! And I told him that I googled “legal separation vs. divorce in the state of Colorado” and basically everything that I told you two entries back.
Again, he looked at me quizzically and said that he was sure that he was divorced, but now he was confused and told me that he’d talk to his lawyer.
I dropped him off where his friends were having a late dinner and I didn’t hear back from him until this morning after I texted him and asked what time his flight was and if he was OK.
He said he was feeling really uncomfortable about last night and that he’d sent an email to his lawyer so that we could get to the bottom of this.
Then he called me about 1/2 hour later and told me that he’d just gotten the divorce decree via email and that he’d email it to me. I told him that I was very sorry that I’d put him on the defensive, and he said NO WAY did I make him feel on the defensive, but that he was confused himself and that he and his friend Jay spent a bunch of time googling legal sep. vs. divorce too after I’d questioned him.
I told him he didn’t need to send me the evidence, but he did anyway, including the chain of emails back and forth from his lawyer.
It was actually kind of cute. At the end of his inquiry to his lawyer, he asked, “Am I divorced?”
She wrote back with the decree attached that said, “Decree of Dissolution of Marriage”. Explained that yes, he is indeed divorced.
I’m so very, very exhausted. I want to write much, much more but my fingers have fallen off and I’m tapping this out with my nose, so I’m going to close and go to sleep now.
I love you with all of the pieces of my patched-together heart!!! XO.
