We had just seperated before our 30, we went out to dinner. It was hard for me, but I tried to make the most of it, since I realized it would be our last together.

It would of been our 23rd a month after she ambushed me. I had a very good friend stay with me the entire day, he kept having some reason to stay, plus others popped in.

Write yourself a love letter. Write why you left and why you gave yourself the opportunity to do what was best for you.
Create a new and improved day for yourself.

Like Jack LaLanine the famous bodybuilder always says,"You are the most important person and if you don't take care of yourself who will?"

Hope it helps.

P.S. I was married for 30 days at age 25 and just knew it was wrong so I left, but it took years to forget the little things.
Time will help you dear one.

mine had a ho so i called him and asked him if he was going to take me out for anniversary dinner. made him mad.:)

I went out with friends and got sh*t faced. Had someone to cry on, but didn't we were too busy laughing our asses off at how stupid she was to leave such a great guy like me.

on my 25th I was out of state, with someone I liked very much, and got a professional massage.

perhaps if i could remember the date!!! i put a R.I.P sign on it and as soon as he signs the papers i start celebrating the day i got divorce from him with family and friends.

I went out with a few local DS'ers and had a great time.

On our last anniversary, it was about one month into our separation. There he was in the house we built together...and here I was living with my daughter, soninlaw and grandchildren...sitting in my "room" alone, crying, remembering and sang "Happy Anniversary to me" to the tune of "Happy Birthday". I did not hear from him on that day. It was a very sad day of realization that he had no use for me anymore!

Well it's over. I went shopping for a few nice things as well as some cute clothes for my baby girl! I had dinner with my parents and I just tried to relax.. it is still weird though. But thank you for your replys - I cried a little as a read them out of appreciation and release not so much sadness.

No one gets married envisioning divorce. You loved him, he loved you. but, for whatever reasons it didn't work out. I still remember mine and that was in 1989. And he abused me. I still cry, I still feel so sad. I still think "what if". But, it doesn't stop it from being sad. I've been divorced for a little over a year. Our final anniversary was the worst one. I try not to dwell on the day (June 30) because I know it will not do me any good. You have memories that are part of YOU. It's not easy to separate that. I guess if it helps to focus on WHY you got divorced and realize that was the only way it was going to go. I feel your pain, I really do
