- I have come to a realization - I think.... I have talked about dating ever since my separation in 2013, and did jump into dating pretty quickly. And have continued to do so almost non-stop ever since then. But I've had only one real...
- Happy 25 year "non-anniversary" to me today. I should be in Hawaii celebrating a nice milestone. I'm one for dates and special events. But it's not to be. I'll never be married to anyone for 25 years. Glad I celebrated 20! Even though...
- did anyone see the movie Fences with Denzel? A portion of it deals with infidelity and it really was kind of heart wrenching but thought-provoking at the same time. I could see the wife's point of view, but for the first time I really could see...
- Holidays are such a joy for the divorced, arent' they? My ex is Mr. Passive so he never made any attempt to invite our kids to his house or interrupt their traditions at home. Instead I invited him (at least to Christmas for past 2 years). ...
- Today I found out my ex is living with his GF. No idea how long but that's irrelevant. Each new discovery gives a little stab of pain, but each time it is so much less than the previous time. I am growing for sure. I am getting stronger...
- The top post in this support group for me is one that was posted over 8 years ago. Can that even be right? Granted there are newer responses, but wouldn't this user even has a "deleted profile" so why would this be appearing at all? I have...
- I'm so tired of so many of my friends purchasing their warm weather future retirement homes. They can easily see the bright future with their long-term spouses and can easily afford a second home. planning for the future isn't as bright for me...
- i posted a discussion two days ago, and I see nothing above that. Does that mean we've all given up on this site?? Or am I missing something?
- I posted about three weeks ago that my dumb ex ruined my weekend by walking into a party with his new GF. Well, just as predicted, it was a whole lot easier the second time. The callouses build up quick! The idiot sat almost directly behind me...
- I heard an early morning text go off today and I thought, "Who is texting me so early?" I got kind of excited to check - I remember when my ex would text me all the time - especially first thing in the morning when I was on my way to work.Well, it...
- I' he just a few therapy sessions about a year after my separation, right before my divorce. The therapist said I seemed fine and the sessions didn't bring out much. Now two years after that, I am feeling like going back. I feel so incredibly...
- When I'm feeling sorry for myself I am going to try to remind myself to think this way:"Write your hurts in the sand, and carve your blessings in stone." We can't help but focus on our hurts because they are so large and deep, but sometimes...
- I LOVED my ex family. My Father in Law, my ex's cousins, aunts, sisters, etc... I have stayed in touch with all of through social media and the occasional visit or word from my kids. My ex FIL just had heart surgery so I was staying up on his...
- My daughter and her father were at odds almost the whole time she grew up. She and he were both stubborn and the fighting got hard to take in her teenage years. (she wasn't always easy with me either, but I was the peacemaker between those two) ...
- Recently finished a novel in which the main character was going through heartache after a divorce. A few years go by and hes met somone new. The thought occurs to him that "he is finally taking up space in someone else's brain again". I loved ...
