Divorce after Twenty years together Community Group

Thanks for posting. I, too, can relate to all of these. #5 in particular popped out at me. I attended 3 weddings the year of my divorce. Just hearing the words "Til death do us part" made me gag. I thought what a joke. Noone seems to believe THAT any more.

Anyway, at the 3rd wedding I went to that year, they played the song my ex and I had danced to at our wedding dance and I ran out of the room in tears feeling pain like no other. Luckily, my family was there to hold me and comfort me, but when DD31 saw me (I had flown her to this wedding to be with me), she gave me look of disgust and walked away. I will never forget it...
