Unsoulmated Podcast (or How To Ruin A Lasting Marriage With A Divorce)

Day 63. Having let go of my other unsoulmate, I am able to see where real friendship comes from and learn to appreciate it more. And for now, I accept not giving my heart out to any others for the time being.

Day 62. My first in a long time Valentines Day as a single father starts out with a break-up 30 years in the making. My long lost soulmate proves through her own anguish and struggles that soulmates don't exist and I learn it painfully.

Day 61. After a whirlwind two weeks of rekindling my friendship with my lost soulmate, we hit a hurdle that puts our progress into an indefinite halt. The prospect of being happily single is starting to look more appealing after a whole day of arguing over how to serve God.

Day 60. I share the beginnings of my marriage to my now ex-wife. The context of how we met and the situations related to our union starts in Vietnam. And as with the ending of my 14-year marriage, the start of my story was inevitably going to end in ruin.

Day 59. It's my first year in as long as I can remember in which I do not have to celebrate Valentine's Day. But because of circumstances I put myself into, I wonder if I still should be celebrating it.

Day 58. It's been a few days since my divorce was final and although fairly uneventful, looking back at the divorce itself and what it's been like at home since then, it's seems like this may stay rather drama-free for the time being.

Day 57. My soulmate and I decide that we can bend the rules of our "break" time because of circumstances. But are we being honest or are we making excuses to justify a lack of self-control?

Day 56. My ex wastes no time announcing to her circle of friends that we are now divorced. She did not expect that one of those friends were already pretty close me and thanks to that relationship, I got inside scoop about my ex's douche-friend that validates my opinions of him.

Day 55. Our divorce is finalized and we can both openly pursue whomever we want to now. As for myself, I am considering the option of not being with someone at the moment and simply embrace the single father experience. Or am I?

Day 54. After long last we are able to find an opportunity to tell our son that his mother and father are getting a divorce, the night before the divorce becomes official. Surprisingly, he takes it better than we thought he would.

Day 53. I discuss what sex means in a relationship and analyze why sex was a key player in my divorce and how it will be a different element for my future.

Day 52. The levels of hypocrisy that my soon-to-be-ex-wife is exhibiting is beyond ridiculous as I learn that she is being insulting about my reunion with my childhood sweetheart. But I don't take too much stock in it as I examine the reasons why she is being so hateful.

Day 51. My wife agrees to watch the children so I can spend more time with my old friend. The day ends up being a wonderful day for us, while it ends up as a stressful day for my wife when she tries to turn a day with the children into a day with her boyfriend.

Day 50. Unfortunately, we were not able to find the right moment to tell my son about the impending divorce due to distractions throughout the day, one of which involved her best friend being annoyed at my wife and later my wife insisting on redirecting the blame of our failed marriage on someone other than herself.

Day 49. We have come to the date that my wife and myself had set to tell my son that we were getting a divorce. This is very scary to me and I did not want to do it while I was in a depressed state. I had reached out to God to help me be strong when this time comes and He has allowed the Universe to answer that prayer in a miraculous way.

Day 48. My reuniting with my childhood friend has a bittersweet turnout due to her struggle with wanting to give of herself fully to God but at the same time wanting to be with me. I selfishly want her for myself but my heart tells me to set her free so she can focus on her work.

Day 47. My soon-to-be ex-wife and I discuss the timing for telling our children that we are getting divorced but there is a disagreement on the specifics in which they need to know. In addition, she tries to compare her relationship with douche boy to my relationship with my newfound lost soulmate.

Day 46. It's been 24 hours since I found my long lost childhood friend. I was able to meet her in person today and she is as beautiful as I remember her being. But is this premature of me to get too excited about this reunion of childhood soulmates?

Day 45.B. I try one more time to locate the childhood sweetheart that has haunted my soul all these years (mentioned on Day 26), and unlike past efforts to find her, today the outcome is so much of a surprise to me that I am still having a hard time believing this is happening.

Day 45. I reflect on an inspirational meme that my wife used and how utterly ridiculous and one-sided that bit of motivation is for anyone.
