I recently said something I never thought in my wildest dreams I’d ever say. I won’t make you guess because you never will. I actually counseled someone to get a divorce. Yes, you read that right. Still need me to repeat it? I counseled someone to get a divorce. The “D” Word Those of you …
My first marriage was anything but healthy. By the time I found the right resources to help me improve myself in terms of our relationship, it was too late. Regardless, I read and finished reading many of those books and they have been a huge blessings for me. My husband has read most if not …
Last night a girl I know reached out to me and she asked me a very valid question. Knowing that the message I sent to my ex’s girlfriend was only intended for her she asked, “So why post it online then if it was only intended for one? You will always get hate or backlash …
This was the last personal email I sent my ex, “Casey” on March 8, 2019. There were still a lot of divorce logistics that were discussed after this. My narrative still hasn’t changed and it never will. “I can’t sleep knowing you’re only a few doors down from me. I’ve been trying to fall asleep …
In my efforts to be more transparent with all the hate and opposition I am facing in relation to my ex, I am publicizing some emails I’ve sent. This email was one I sent on March 2, 2019 almost a month after my ex left. I will be substituting his name with “Casey”. “Casey, I …
Dear Girl, You don’t know me and we’ve never met, but I am “Casey’s” ex-wife (name changed). I know nothing about you or your relationship and honestly, I never thought I’d hear about one of his girlfriends.

I’m going to come clean to you all. I may be wrong for feeling this way. My reality is my reality. Lately… I’ve felt very worked up. I’ve felt upset. I’ve felt wronged. I’ve felt cheated. I’ve felt almost angry. What about? My ex-husband. Why? Haven’t you moved on? Yes, of course I have, but …
A couple of months ago I received a message from a “friend”, we’ll call him Andy. We were more than acquaintances, but our friendship was very surface level and frankly, only existed because he was friends with my ex-husband. In his message, after congratulating me on my recent marriage, he proceeded to request that I …
Dear Future Boyfriend, I have been wronged, but I have forgiven. I have been hurt, but I am not broken. I was married, but I’m no longer attached. I am not a “virgin”, but I broke no covenant. I am not a feminist, but I am independent and self-reliant. I was hurt by a man, …
I’ve been surprised by the number of people who have asked me, “How did you know that you were going to get divorced?” Truth is, I didn’t … not when it all happened anyway. You have to remember that he left me, this wasn’t a mutual decision or desire. Looking back, all the signs of …
I’m the type of person who has a lot of dreams, both of the kind you fulfill and the kind you have when you’re asleep. In fact, there have been many times where my dreams have been a form of revelation for me. It must have something to do with my Armenian blood. With that …
Dear Future Husband, Thank you for loving me and seeing beyond the baggage I carry. People say we all have our own, but I have experienced countless days where mine has felt particularly bulky and heavy, so I thank you for seeing me for me. Thank you for helping me leave some of it behind …
