Divorced Woman: Really think about this - are you happier now if you are alone or when you were with your ex? Give it thought before answering and why?
I left my husband of 30 years in Feb and filed for divorce in early March so i’ve only been going through this change for a few weeks. It’s like I always said it would be...trading one set of problems for a different set of problems but I am happier with myself as a person and much more at peace. I do feel a sense of sadness for how things turned out and also for the effect it has on my children. Overall though I am happier for sure. I was very beat down and depressed before I left. Leaving has been very enpowering for me and for the first time as an adult I feel in control of my life.
GOOD FOR YOU!!!!! All the other stuff will work out... I do believe everything happens as it is suppose to and we grow from these experiences.
Thanks Marion. I am actually not wanting to run away from my life anymore...now I feel so much stronger and able to handle things and am very positive about my future. I see now how destructive it was to let myself be controlled by my own fear of the unknown.
We were married 20+ years and seperated 3 years ago. He fought the divorce really hard though it ended because of domestic violence and he was cheating. So I can yes 100% sure I am so much more happy now. Because this year I just started dating and I have a man in my life who enjoys my company. My husband was kind of a hands of husband and father to our three children. So when I was married I felt more alone then the last three years of being single and not dating. Which is sad to say because at least in these three years I chose to be alone.
Wendy... I get it... it’s much better to be alone and feel as if you are alone because you are...when you are with someone and you feel alone that is definitely much worse. I’m glad you found someone who is good for you!!!! Hooray.. thanks for responding!!!!!
