Decree Nisi
Today I received a Decree Nisi (not final or absolute). Funny really, I was expecting a weighty ornate piece of parchment hand written in best olde english handwriting, and yet is nothing more that a plain old white piece of A4 cheap flimsy paper form D29 Decree Nisi.
So, the Judge agreed, the marriage has irretrievably broken down and decreed that the said marriage be dissolved unless sufficient cause be shown to the court within six weeks from the making of the decree why such a decree should not be made absolute.
And thats it, in 6 weeks or so it’ll be done and dusted, finito, kaput.
I think its good that I’m not that bothered. I’ve worked through a lot of the disappointment and feeling of failure stuff, but I’d be a liar if I said I don’t feel a tinge of sadness for a love once lost.
Oh well.

how awful is a divorce? I was married for 32 years with two beautiful sons to prove it. Unfortunately my husband met someone much younger in the office and within a matter of weeks our long term mnarriage was over. Now thanks to him I am losing my lovely home, as it now has become apparant he wants to feature his own love-nest. My oldest son has ME and I do not know where to start looking for a home whih we can afford but not stick out….. I lived for 32 years in relevant happiness, and this sudden shock of the abruptness of the ending of my marriage I would not wish on anyone, that is, of course, only the two who have comittated this selfesh act.

Sorry to hear that, I know its very painful. There isn’t much I can say to make it any better. I hope you have a supportive network of friends and loved ones. God bless
