I wasn’t sure how to tell you, and I don’t want to put a damper on our conversation, but I wouldn’t keep that from you.

It…changed me. Made me question who I am, why I’m here, and what I should fight for. But it snapped me into focus too, and it made me appreciate so much more of what I still have.

To go through that must be life-changing. How long were you married?

BigSpoon92

Five years

ASingleRose26

Wow, I’m sorry, I just…I don’t know what to say. That’s tragic.

BigSpoon92

You don’t have to say anything.

She and I had time to talk about it before she went. She wanted me to be happy. She wanted me to move forward. In the moment, I couldn’t imagine what that would look like, but I feel ready now. That’s why I joined this app. After a lot of soul-searching, I have the capacity to move on. I wouldn’t be talking to you, or anyone else for that matter, if I hadn’t healed.

ASingleRose26

I really appreciate you being honest with me. It must have been so hard to let her go…fully

BigSpoon92

Yes, it has been. But that’s why I’ve waited two years before even dipping my toe back in.

ASingleRose26

That’s…wow…that must have been such a leap

I feel like my responses are so simple and bland, but I really, truly have no idea what to say.

BigSpoon92

Sorry, this got a lot deeper than I intended, haha

ASingleRose26

No no, thank you for telling me

BigSpoon92

So, I understand if that changes how you feel about talking to me

ASingleRose26

It’s actually a good thing. You’re being real with me. I haven’t really gotten that before

BigSpoon92

Well, it’s easy when we get to hide behind our screens like this

ASingleRose26

Still, that’s tough stuff to talk about
