What Would Have Been

Today would have been my tenth wedding anniversary. I do not regret not making it that far, but I do regret not having enough clarity and forethought to have seen before we got married that it was not the correct thing for me to have done. I never imagined that I would be divorced, but to be perfectly honest, I am more happy now, in a relationship that has already outlasted my marriage, than I ever was as a married woman. I do not plan to marry again, no matter how happy I may be.

I wish my ex all the best and hope that he finds a similar happiness, whether or not it comes with another marriage certificate.
