So as you all know I moved back to the UK about Two years, Two months, and Nine days ago.
At the time when I first returned, I swore that I wouldn't divorce- just to keep me from being an idiot again, but things happen. A LOT has happened in that time.
And HELL NO- it's not another man in my life. I was serious as a dang heart attack when I said I'll never marry again.
But there are other aspects of life that need to be resolved at this point in my life and as S2BX isn't in my life except in name- I think it's time we move on- legally. S2BX is still young enough he can find someone romantically compatible and maybe even have a baby or two of his own - if he is so inclined. And if some legal things come up in the future, I don't want him to be held accountable for the fees involved just because we are still married in name. It was MY choice to leave and move back to America, even tho my choice was entirely determined by my interpretation of his actions. I'm pretty positive he feels the same way about my actions as well.
It turns out, in South Carolina we can file for a No-Fault Divorce if we have been separated/not co-habited for 1 year or more. No one was at fault- we just decided it was over and made it so.
I cant say there isn't animosity- there isn't on my part- but he has said to me that if it were up to him he'd never have to think about me or hear my name again...plus, he asked me not to contact him again.
I was honoring his wishes, but then I found out we could do the No-Fault Divorce so I did contact him a couple days ago to let him know what it involved and he, without hesitation or anger(none that I could sense in the text anyway) said- yes, please, do it. So I think he may be ready to move on as well. So I'll be going forward with the NFD proceedings as soon as it can be arranged.
I continue to wish him only happiness in the future.

This sounds like a reasonable, somewhat amicable conclusion to that chapter in your lives.
I hope so. for both our sakes.
