So my story begins like many others who form meaningful lustful relationships as teenagers. I was seventeen and had already graduated high school. I was infatuated with my brother's roommates best friend. He was 20 and very attractive in a nerdy kind of way. I was smitten.
I became pregnant very quickly and we moved in together after just a few months of meeting. We did our best and he worked hard to support our little family, but life wasn't always good.
I was suffering from a mental illness that I didn't know I had. My severe anxiety and depression made life quite miserable for both of us. There was so much anger and resentment, I don't know how we made it past the first three years, but we did.
WE SHOULDN'T HAVE!
We had another child during this time. So two children and a relationship held together by hopes and dreams needs only one thing, MARRAIGE!
At 20 and 23 we decided to fix our relationship, we needed to get married, and we did.
We then struggled through work, school, and our relationship for many more years. We were at times lovers, roommates, single parents, but most importantly we were always best friends.
Fast forward 12 years of marriage. Here we are.
My mental health has gotten better, but I have hard a hard five months and I have finally sabotaged my life enough that I ruined my marriage.
And I guess this is where the story of how two people who love each other, but need time to work on themselves decided to co-parent. I have decided to sign a one year lease.
