About Me
I'm a professor and moved to IL in order to coordinate careers with my ex. Even though things didn't work out with us, I'm glad to be here--I have a great job and lots of friends (something positive I got indirectly out of our relationship). I do not have children, but do have a very supportive cat and friends.

Close Breakups & Divorce
My husband told me he wanted to end our relationship in early May 2007. It was a shock to me. I was devastated until fairly recently. Our divorce was final 11/20. I now feel ready to greet my new life, although I still have bad days and miss having a marriage..
Treatments
- Couples Counseling Not Working
- My husband and I entered counseling, after 3 months he broke the news during a counseling session, revealing he had lied for the previous months in our sessions.
- Pets Working / Worked
- My cat has become more and more affectionate (and spoiled). It's nice to share the bed with someone warm and cuddly.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- Working out regularly has helped with my confidence and making me feel in control of something in my life.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- My friends have been incredibly helpful and I am growing closer to my somewhat estranged mother as a result of this.
- Time Working / Worked
- I feel better each month.
Close Fitness Goals
I am trying to get in shape after a 4+ year fitness hiatus (brought on by chronic pain and inertia). I've lost 40 lbs and am now a "healthy weight" but want to feel fitter, stronger and look better.
Treatments
- Elliptical Trainer Working / Worked
- I have a Nordic-Track, not exactly elliptical. I've noticed dramatic results in muscle tone, weight loss and endurance.
- Pilates Somewhat Helpful
- I do 30 minutes about 2x week. I haven't notice more strength or tone and it has been 6 weeks. Maybe I need a harder class?
- Weight Training Too Soon to Tell
- Just started lifting small arm weights for toning delts, biceps and triceps.
- Yoga Somewhat Helpful
- Ive been doing yoga 1x week after my cardio. I find it more relaxing than toning or challenging.
Open Healthy Relationships
I got divorced in November 2007 after 13 years of a dysfunctional relationship. I've worked on and am still working on myself and wondering why and how I let myself get to that point. I'm now seeing a man and don't want to repeat the same mistakes or allow the same dynamics--or develop new one.
Treatments
- Talking Working / Worked
Open Infidelity
I'm divorced (marriage ended 2 years ago) and now in a new relationship. My new bf just had a ONS and I'm not sure if I should continue with him.
Treatments
- Couples Counseling Too Soon to Tell
Open Families & Friends Of Addicts
I think my bf is an alcoholic. He thinks he drinks too much but doesn't want to stop altogether. He just had a drunken one night stand, so I am facing the fact that the drinking is a problem in our relationship, not just his life.
Treatments
- Patience Somewhat Helpful
- Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
- We're in couples counseling and he is going to begin individual counseling.
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
