I know it is said that we live in a throw away society, however there is nothing in place that stops us. Nothing that forces us to give a second thought to what we are doing; nothing that says, have a breather, slow down.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not regretting for a minute going through with my divorce. However………

It took my husband and I over a year from him proposing to us ‘tying the knot’ (obviously far too loosely!). He proposed on New Year’s Eve 2002 – I will always remember it, it was actually quite ingenious and extremely romantic for him, then we married in the January of 2004.

However since completing the petition for our divorce to receiving the date of the first hearing in court has been a matter of weeks.

I thought I was being optimistic thinking I would be a divorcee by the early part of next year however at this rate I will be single by Christmas.
