It takes 5 years of exercising treaty rights (continuously) to acquire PR. In ROR cases that's a composite of treaty rights (sponsors and applicants).

What have you been doing since acquiring ROR?

i have been working all thru since 2011.

Looks like 5th anniversary then. Assuming no prolonged absences (from UK) and good supporting documentary evidence.

just to clarify, we are now divorced. so will it still be 5 years from our wedding date??

5 years of treaty rights since you became sponsored. Which for a FM would be wedding date assuming sponsor and sponsee were in UK at time and sponsor was a qualified person from then.
