Marriages end in all kind of ways and on all kind of timetables.
Mine ended with a text out of the blue. It was an ending puncuated with ?!?!, overwhelming me with surpise and teeming with unanswered questions. It was delivered silently yet elicted loud sobs of strong emotion followed by unanswered pleas for explanations. A one-sided dialog. It was an incomplete ending to a story.
What puncuation mark ended your marriage?
#@&% !
Mine too, Candace! 😀
Lol
Mine ended with a smiley face.
Mine ended with a “?”
What is the punctuation mark for being put through a meat grinder for 15 years since? I feel like the screamer in the painting http://smg.photobucket.com/user/dutchdavis/media/TheScream.jpg.html
I think we need to turn that image into an emoji.
Thanks Adina, Great post. be safe. Leah

Mine ended with so many unanswered questions?????
Mine ended with a ha ha ! I got you
Mine ended with….???……, because the lies kept coming
I know that one!
My world and perceptions turned upside down and backwards ¿¿¿¡¡¡
Good one!
No texting when mine ended – he let the marriage counselor tell me, so I guess that’s a …
Lovely. 🙁

Mine was a period. Then a smiley face. Was cheating for our entire marriage…never wanted kids…hated the financial burden…blah blah. Nothing I didn’t know I guess, but I would never have left. Period. Thank you my freedom to find true happiness. Smiley face. Not that I have it yet of course – because everything he did wrong was my fault. 7 months and counting! My poor kids.
Mind ended with a ? too (very similar to yours, Lisa. But an email, not a text).
What is it with these cowardly endings?!?!
Mine ended with a !?… because while we weren’t happy, I never ever thought he would just end it after he promised to work on himself and the marriage. And he was never able to tell me why he made that decisions (or so many other poor decisions afterwards). And finally the … because after 2.5 years, we still aren’t divorced. He just can’t have difficult conversations…with me, or with anyone…so he won’t talk to me about a financial settlement (in this case, it benefits me financially to leave things as they are for as long as he’s willing to do so — I could be married for the next 25 years if he can’t figure out how to act and converse like a grown up man).
Mine was not so much a punctuation mark but a statement the first time I was in Court (2/25/14 will forever be branded in my mind). There was no reason for being in Court. My attorney had just meet the petitioner and came back over to where I was sitting on a bench in the hallway. My attorney stated, “your wife is fucking crazy”. After a few minutes I replied, due to the fact we are in Court for no reason other than to expose the petitioner’s lies, there is a 0% chance of reconciliation. My attorney thought I was being harsh and should keep open the possibility of reconciling. I replied that this was now a business transaction and to complete it as quickly as possible.
Mine was several dots / periods. I just felt numb. Later came the question marks, the exclamations, and the random assorted keyboard character bashes…..
A full stop, over, done.
Actually, i am writing my divorce story on my Platinum dragon blog. The expletives were on my part when you are traded on for a 17 yo girl.
17!?!? Wow.
Yeah. Fun times. I had to take a break writing this story during the election and afterwards. The president elect reminded me too much of my ex and depressed me.too much.
🙁
Mine was a ???????????????…….??????? %$#@
