Sigh.

Legally married in April, publicly married in late October, separated in late November, divorce finalized in July.
Didn't tell most of my family that the divorce was happening until it was done, just to avoid months of drama in favor of ripping the bandaid off later.

Holding that inside wasn't fun. Acting like I was fine, etc.

Now I gotta do it again, except this time it's for an indefinite amount of time, because I work in a male-dominated industry in a predominantly conservative area
