The Vicious Cycle

It was already 9:30 by the time I got home from my class Thursday night, and all I wanted to do was go to sleep.  I walked through the door, a bit apprehensively, and knew that there would be trouble when my husband told me he was glad that I was home.  That's just not something you expect to hear from someone you've told you want a divorce.

And so, I was launched into yet another hour-long tirade on why I no longer wanted to be with him, except this time, he'd pushed my buttons and I could no longer keep calm.  I was angry.  And I finally used the words I hadn't wanted to use - that I didn't love him anymore.  He still persisted, claiming that if we just tried therapy... I told him no.  It wouldn't work.  My mind was made up.  I want this to be over with so badly, so that I can move on.  To what?  I don't know.  To who?  Who knows.  To where?  Maybe somewhere else - considering my job situation, now might be a perfect time to relocate.  In the end, I finally got to sleep around 11:00, though I didn't sleep well.  I haven't been sleeping well since I got home from vacation a week and a half ago. 

Last night, my husband stayed out after work to get drinks with a mutual friend, and was planning on just spending the night there.  I found out a few things in his absence: he's begun to look for someone else, as his user name was already typed in when I brought up Match.com on his computer, and I also saw that he didn't wear his ring yesterday, which is fine as I haven't worn mine in about two months, but noticed he had kept wearing his.  Does this mean he's finally accepting the truth?  God, I hope so. 

I am becoming an emotional mess.  I guess this was expected.  And I know it will get better.  I just have to ride it out.
