So here's the story....

My marriage has been slowly falling apart the past few years now, and it's all come to a head recently in the past several months.

I won't go in to the gory details, nor will I lay all the blame on my wife. I've made more than my fair share of mistakes in our relationship too.

The bottom line at this point is that we will probably be getting divorced within the next year or two.

Our plan (so far) is to wait until our daughter graduates high school, hopefully giving us time to plan things out financially so that they can keep our house and I can afford to move out on my own.

I'm not really looking forward to it; I've worked very hard to get where I am and a divorce will mean starting all over again with nothing.

So I have a maybe two years to start planning my future; I will probably need to find a second job soon so I can start saving for it.

I haven't even BEGUN to think about what I will do with my collection yet LOL....I do know that while I don't intend to STOP collecting I will certainly have to cut way back on how much I spend on it, so I will have to be far more selective in what I choose to buy from now on.

I don't want to have to SELL my collection either; I'm hoping that once the divorce is done my wife will allow me to keep the collection in the toy room until I find some other option.

But that's really the least of my worries at this point.

I've been struggling with the idea of even posting this for awhile now but I figure I should at least let my friends know what's going on, despite my reluctance to share my private life online.

I'm not against trying to work things out at this point, but at the moment anyway that prospect seems very dim.

I don't know how much blogging I will be doing for awhile, I really don't have anything FUN to talk about going on in my head right now, but I will try to stay in touch as best I can.

I guess I just have to try and move on, and hope for the best no matter what.

Wish me luck....I'll need it.
