Life After Divorce Support Group
This community is dedicated to starting over after a divorce. With the marriage over, how do individuals begin a new chapter in their lives and what hurdles do they face? Divorce is often one of the most traumatic periods in a person's life. Studies show it is the second-most stressful event in life, after the death of a spouse.
I left my husband after a long difficult relationship. After losing my brother, father and mother I finally couldn't cope with my marriage. My parents and he had a lot of struggles regarding our daughter. To make a long story short, I met someone else, got involved, left my marriage and spent two years with him. If the truth be told my ex and I never really stopped talking. My new relationship was wild and free. He had a Harley Davidson, and was carefree. Exactly what I needed after seeing my parents through the loss of their son then my Mother through the loss of her soulmate. Finally, I lost my best friend in the entire world. So two years later I realize I am not compatible whatsoever with this man. I end the relationship and am now sort of dating my ex husband. Where do I go from here?
It sounds like you had a lot of stress, on top of being in your early 40's (mid-life crisis? Reflecting on your lost youth?). Maybe it was a temporary hiccup in your life. Hard to tell.
Hopefully you and your ex have resolved the issues that split you apart.
