Last year, I wrote a series of hubs called Time to Make the Transition. I struggled with the fact that my husband did not want to be with me any more. It was difficult to me because I was more concerned about his departure rather than mine. I was concerned about how a transition out of the rooming house situation was going to be, since the landlady was becoming fond of my husband for all the extra effort to help her with the household. Then what halted my plans to move last year was when he decided to tell me that God had changed him and he was going to be "obedient" to his wedding vows.

It did not take me long to go through the transition of my relationship status this time. I viewed that there had really not been any improvement on the relationship at all, it was the same "boring" routine over and over again. The communication between us had stopped and there was no intimacy either. "Going Through The Motions" by Michael W. Smith was the song that continued in my mind. I had to make the first move out of that house we lived in and out of the relationship.

The Move

The Day had finally arrived.
I could not sleep a wink.
A three hour nap is all I could get
To make my current situation sink.

As I carried my things to
My little car
On this 100 degree day,
I kept on thanking the Lord
For my new life
Which was only
Hours away.

As I packed in a hurry,
I saw the truth unfold,
That our marriage was just a
Six year mistake, and so the
Truth be told.

I do not
Have any feelings
Of anger,
I don't
Have any thoughts
Of regret.
I just want to enjoy
my new day as it comes
I will just forgive and forget.

The new place just so beautiful
The neighbors are like
One big family.
I know that the Lord heals
And will guide my
Every move
And will keep me free.

The Decision


Thank God for motivation.
Listening to my inner voice
Gave me invitation-
An invitation to new life,
To step away from stress and strain,
To turn around and walk away
And to be Single Again.

I realized the marriage
Was truly me on the rebound
Replacing loneliness with love,
A courtship that was
Only shy of seven weeks which
I thought was from the Lord Above.

If only I spent more time
To find out about his past
But a mutual agreement
To tie the knot,
And I trusted he to be the last.
The last one to say, "I do",
To make my dream come true.

This man I married was a
Very good act,
And impressed my parents
With all the right facts,
But decided not to use any tact
To reject me over and over again.

Thank you Fennelseed, I no longer have to try to fill someone's life without the appreciation. Being on my own is one more step to marking my own individuality.

A very big and courageous step, but the time is obviously right and your determination to enjoy life rather than to continue in misery is very wise and commendable.

I was married for 22 years and after 10 years of unhappiness thought another baby (no.3) would provide the answers. I love my youngest daughter to bits and wouldn’t be without her, but the marriage was doomed and this decision was just dumb.

I applaud you on your resolve, well done.
