WHY is it that friends and family feel obligated to give unwanted advice about the way I'm handling my divorce?! While I understand these people have my best interests at heart, I am doing what I feel is right in this divorce; not having been through something like this, that's the only way I know how to do it. For whatever reason the majority of those close to me seem to think that I should be furious with him, curse him up and down and never have anything to do with him again. You would think after seeing our relationship over the past 15 years, these people would realize that it will never be that way with us, and we don't want it to be. We are handling this the way we've always handled our conflict... we don't air our dirty laundry, and resolve whatever it is between OURSELVES!! Getting divorced is hard enough, why make it harder by being unnecessarily ugly about it?! Not to mention that telling me I'm doing it wrong doesn't help either!!
I know this approach doesn't work for everyone, but that's the only way this will work for us in the long run, and I'd really like the haters to BUTT THE HELL OUT!!

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Opinions are like....... Everybody has one.

Guess I've been on DS for too long...
My and me ex are doing it that way, we are not keeping it closed off, but that is just our choice. I have to literally tell some of my family that if I am not upset with her, and I am fine with what is going on, why the hell do they have to get all pissed off about it.
Listen to their advice, but do what is right for you.
