Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

You got that right, my friend. Keep going and don't look back. We all deserve the respect, trust and to feel appreciated for the things we do. Hugs.

Yes, you got that right!!

It took losing my first marriage to find (and marry) my best friend. We have been married now for 18 years.

Breakups hurt, but if we learn from them, are able to see and evaluate the relationship with open and honest eyes, we can make better decisions in the future that in turn, make for much better relationships.

Thanks for your message; I needed to hear this tonight. I’m in the beginning of loosing what feels like a great amount, but struggling with also feeling like I will finally be free to be me! Excited and sad, anxious and excited, nervous and depressed... all in all, it’s a lot of emotion to deal with! I’m not sure how to handle it- sometimes it feels like it’s handling me! I get thrown by missing the past emotions and thrown even worse by the “what am I going to do” emotions.
Being told, and hearing that it’s a blessing, a positive thing, helps me feel like looking forward to what is too come- not dread what seems scary as the “unknown”.
It’s hard to feel like starting over is a good thing- but I do know-somewhere in my heart and mind- that having respect and real depth of caring IS a really good thing, and I certainly didn’t have that before!
Thanks again for the message, well said, and well received tonight.

Thanks for your comment,

I feel the same. It hurts but thank goodness and we'll be happier later in life. I told my husband thank God he wanted a divorce because I would have never left him. This is for the best but it sure hurts a lot!
