Divorce is like...

having a flat tire...you either you fix it or change it or your not going to get very far.

Another way to look at it is like having two note cards that have been glued together and allowed to dry. When you try to seperate them, they are torn apart. Some material from each card is left on the other...just as in relationships...we take something with us and leave something behind when we end relationships.

I know several members are struggling with relationships and hope that you all can find happiness...if not where you are now...where you will be in the future.

Divorce is like... a breath of fresh air! Both of my exes suffocated me. I think I'm just a happier person NOT married or attached. I'm like a bird, I need to be free to fly.

Agree with pandora on this one tho, it was like being in prison!

Love those two analogies, ATO. Whether divorce is crippling or freeing, it's still sad. Prayers for all with relationship issues right now.

Divorce & after menopause = freedom & full happy health life.
Only thing that I took was marital debt. I do not reposent/nor have anyform or traits of my formor/of my formor marriage.I remain true to who I am. Set yourself into healthy lifestyle. Divorce = freedom & self.

Most often divorce seems to begin the quest for the next ex.

No next ex for me! I don't think I ever want to marry again. Burn me once, burn me twice... no third time for me!

I think divorce can be incredibly sad. For me it was like loosing a loved one. But when someone you love dies you can mourn them and hold on to the good memories. When they're still around it's doubly hard. I had 10 years of memories that plagued me and still do sometimes. I can see that people can feel free and be happy about it but at the end of the day it's not God's plan.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
