My marriage.
I know, not a very elegant way to make the announcement, but I felt the urge to say something round these parts. I'm not a super-regular poster, but I'm lurking here almost every day, and I feel like I'm more in tune, at least in spirit, with the folks here than I am with most of the people I know and interact with in "real" life. I was debating which thread to drop this in, and after considering the Saloon, it's back alley, Regrets, and the Love Check thread, I settled on this one, as I believe fits the situation more poetically.
Things actually came to a head back on September 17th (2012 might not have heralded the end of the world, at least no more than any other year or moment in time does, but it certainly was a game changer for me personally). It wasn't by my choice, and I'm still slightly unstable about the whole thing, but I'm at the point where I can see through the emotions enough to realize that it will be for the best for all concerned in the long run. I don't regret that we made this journey together (though I most assuredly regret certain moments) as that would be to regret my wonderful daughters, who mean everything to me. But, we were well past our expiration date, if you will. Ah well. So it goes.

If you can't laugh at yourself, then everyone else will.
