******* Hello, I'm writing this- during these trying times, because I feel that it's needed... Hopefully, I can delay or bypass any of your "pent-up" feelings and/or emotions, and help you to divert them accordingly*******
Over these last few years, my life has taken quite a turn. My divorce was rough. I mean really rough for me. I truly loved her. I thought that I had given her most everything that she had ever wanted & I always tried to focus- on putting 100% of my efforts- into our relationship. We had our investment property & we had our side- "joint investments". Everything was good- maybe even "perfect". Mutually/together- we were in excellent financial standing...
Then, came a "shock" to me. I was completely blown-away. One day- she vanished. She was gone. She just- "vanished". No notes to me, to any of her friends, or to her siblings. There weren't any msgs left for her friends at work either. No liquidation of her belongings/properties. Her banking matters seemed intact. No signs- whatsoever. Nothing.!!
Even though we had remained friends after our divorce- I was constantly thinking about my behavior during our relationship. I was actually feeling guilty. Did I try hard enough? Did I try to do the right thing- always? Was I apologetic to her, (when/if) I was wrong? Was I too selfish? Was I considerate enough?
The guilt was constantly- pressing at my thoughts. I was pushing my thoughts deep into the ground and later reviving them- in hopes of finding some explanation. Some answers, anything. Did she leave me or did she leave her family? We were still pretty good friends after our divorce- so maybe she couldn't handle seeing me around town? Was she taken? Did she remarry? Was she gay? I was drilling myself daily/hourly.
I kept telling myself that I needed to go on. I needed to move on. My life needed to move forward. My co-workers were starting to take notice- so I bought myself a bicycle, just to misdirect them. I didn't want anyone to think that I was falling apart.
