I filed for divorce today. We did it together in fact. All amicable. 10 years married, no DC, death by a thousand cuts and it's a relief to finally have cut the knot after years of indecision.
Will need to sell the house but apart from that there are few obstacles.
But whilst I'm 100% sure it's the right thing, and feel immense relief, I'm also very scared. Of being alone and maybe never meeting anyone else. Of facing the world without my companion of the past 10 years.
I'm 41 now. Did I wait too long to divorce? What are the chances of meeting someone who I spark with at this point in my life (I don't fancy people easily at all)? I know being on my own is better than in an unhappy relationship and I do enjoy my own company, and I am fulfilled in my career and hobbies, but still...
The unknown is so scary, please tell me it will be ok!
