When I eloped with him after graduating from college, I was the happiest woman in the world. I got to be with the most beautiful man in our campus. I got to sleep with him every night and bear beautiful children. But since we were both undergraduates, he had a hard time looking for a decent job and since we could not afford to have a nanny for our children, I needed to stay home and take care of our children. Soon, as hunger strikes us, our love for each other soon fades away. We argue on almost everything and he soon looked horrible. Gone was the beautiful face and the well built body, he turned into a monster that smells like wet dog. When I looked at the mirror, I was my grandmother staring back at me. Then I waked up, my phone was ringing. There was a message, he was waiting for me in the waiting shed down the street. It was the night we have decided to elope. I turned off my phone and went back to sleep.

When we had a divorce, I thought I will be feeling empty and hallow inside. After being married to the same man for more than twenty years, I thought I will miss him terribly that I will die in agony. I thought I will miss him laying down in the bed with me every night, have breakfast with him every morning and wait for him the whole day. The house was left to me as agreed upon on our conjugal property settlement. I thought I will have a hard time moving forward and picking up the shattered pieces of me. But I was wrong. Whenever I think of the reason why we separated, I feel happy being away from him. He is now happy with his boyfriend and I am happy with half a million dollar estate after the divorce.
