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.
Given the women's only divorce website seems to cover serious issues, and the suggested men's only website is more tongue in cheek (at least I hope so), I thought that we ladies might like the opportunity to create a counter site....

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
I actually like exhusband so he is still named Paul.
How to prevent the slimy f***er spreading a load of lies and half-truths to family and friends, and how to counter such an attack if necessary?
I reckon I've already passed my degree in that one ;)
You know the kind of people who always feel the need to know all the sordid details and impart their own unique brand of 'wisdom' about a situation they know nothing about!
All you have to do is cultivate one of those types as your new best friend, and 'confide' enough information to them - all in the strictest confidence of course - to ensure that it gets spread all over town.
Hey, if he's playing that game anyway, all you have to do is just be that little bit more clever about sharing enough information to discredit him ;)
My ex lied so much, he couldn't keep his stories straight and sometimes I found out things from total strangers.
They always leave a trail....
How about
What you Need to Know About Making New "Friends"
* Getting to Know Yourself Again
* DIY Background Checking on the Cheap - Including make sure those test results are the read deal, & credit checks - why not, everyone else does it
* Navigating Online Dating Sites - Should I or Shouldn't I? (frankly they scare the beejeebies out of me)
More suggestions?
Sigh...maybe someone has some good ideas.
OH, And I've tried volunteering - apparently so have all the other women LOL...no men there.
