So, where have I been? I only have a second to post something, so this will be the Cliffs Notes version of the last month and a half. Mr. Fight and I are totally, totally through. And I feel amazing. I moved out on May 1st after 3 awkward weeks of living together after the initial 5 days of, "get out and stay out." It was hard and scary and lonely, but it was the best choice I ever made. I basically spent some time drugging myself with Valium for a bit and when I came to, I was okay about the whole thing. I wasn't going to look for anyone to be with to take my mind off of my husband, because I've seen girls do that after a bad break up and it always seems to do them more harm than good. I just wanted to be alone and mope and face my fears. It wasn't so bad. I got a job bar tending and I don't have some deadbeat on the couch sucking me dry, so I am not as stressed about cash as I used to be. I mean, I'm still "big picture" poor as shit, but I can pay my rent with ease now, which is nice.
So there I was all content with my choice and feeling okay about everything and the most wonderful and unexpected thing happened. I met someone! Yay! I have never once found someone that I wanted to share my life with when I was looking for someone to share my life with. It felt so right because it was just so natural. I know it seems super fast, but by the time I left Brian, I realized I was already over him. My romantic love had turned into this caregiving love and the husband/wife shit was already long gone. I tried to keep my guard up with the guy I met, but after one day it felt like I had known him a million years. None of the weird awkwardness that can come with a new relationship. I won't go into detail yet, but I feel the happiest I have ever been. He went through a pretty traumatic break up recently and we have a similar perspective on what a relationship should be and what our last ones were missing. I won't gush about him here (yet), but I could. So be happy for me, because my life rules.

I love the fact that you're already moving on! It's totally irrelevant how quickly you meet someone new after the break up, me thinks. Whatever makes you happy!
By the way, you should probably update your profile, since it still says that you live with your husband :P
Ooh, I can't wait to hear the details! Good for you L!
