This is a difficult thing to share, but so much of our lives have been lived on the internet, it only feels right to do so. Christopher has asked for a divorce, and I've accepted it is what he needs. We have also agreed to mutually beneficial terms that will allow me to maintain the house and pets, and us both to move forward with our new, separate lives as quickly as possible. This is a painful thing, obviously, and I will always care about him a great deal. We're trying to handle this as amicably as possible, which I feel strongly is necessary to honor the many, many good years and times we have had. This is to say: No one needs to pick sides. I encourage you to send your love and support to us both, as we navigate this process and find a new normal. We will both need it. I wish Christopher nothing but the best.
I will be writing not about him, but about my process of finding my way forward and writing through the pain on my substack. Please do feel free to upgrade to paid to help out financially during this time. We’ll have some private chats and there will be paid only posts. Preordering The Frame-Up is also a great help.
The photo above is from a five-mile hike my dear wise, friend Lissa took me and
(whose new substack you should be subscribed to) on yesterday afternoon. It was hard and healing. I’m going to be going through a lot more of both those things.Thank you all in advance for your love and support.
Thank you all so much. I would love to respond to you all individually and will attempt to moving forward. But just know I have seen all your messages here and in email and they mean so much. Also, thank you for subscribing or upgrading. It helps.
I am really shocked and saddened to hear this. Wow, this post completely caught me off guard. I am sorry to hear that. You seem to be handling it much better than I would be.
