Its actually left up to your friend

some get hateful, some look for love in the wrong places while some fall back into the 20s single days and fall in love again.
But I dont think anyone can honestly say that its not a change and its not weird and its not different and you have to adjunct.
Tell your friend good luck, especially if your friend has smaller kids.... they make it really different.

You were unhappy together for whatever reason, and you are on your own again. It is usually better for the aggrieved party, I think.

cheating. Of course I have moments where it is odd to sleep alone, to be alone in the kitchen in the morning, to watch TV by myself. But I was married to an alcoholic, and not too many of those moments that I just mentioned were good moments in the last three years or so. The sudden removal of that stress was almost like getting the bends after popping up to the surface too quickly. It was disorienting to no longer have to worry about getting a phone call from somewhere that there was an arrest, or worse an accident. Never mind all of the embarrassing moments for me and my kids with friends and family.
Yeah, the weirdness goes away, faster when you get busy getting on with your life.

but hang in there. I'm not the one for best advice here having done 30 yrs married, but I'd say watching out for your own health is key. And appreciating any minute of non-weird connects for what it is.
There's a lot of peeps pulling for you here.

My take.
Oct 1, 2015, 12:13 AM
|
|
Yes.
My divorce came out of the blue, and was personally devastating. Honestly, it shook me pretty dang deeply and I wasn't sure how or if I'd ever really regain that ground in my life.
But a year out from the separation and 9 months out from the divorce I can say that life has gotten better. Much, better.
You'll get tons of advice from folks here, and mine is just another voice in the crowd. But for me, a solid focus on my family and friends and folks who stood beside me, along with a searching of myself has led me to a much better place. And I don't now if you're a man of Faith, but for me that played a huge part in my regrouping.
All along the way every ounce of provision I needed was provided, and I can honestly say, yes, yes it gets better.

I think.
I'm not over it yet. At lease once every few weeks I dream about her. Actually, that's what woke me after the short sleep I got this morning.
I was raise to understand that people get married and that's it. I think the guilt of not making it work or being able to make it work bothers me. When I dream about her it's always the same. We have a short period of normalcy then she breaks my trust again. There is no evidence she ever cheated but she would climb a telephone pole and tell a lie before she would sit in a recliner and tell the truth.
Last night I dreamed that she was honest and sincere and want to put our family back together. I refused. I guess I wanted it to end long before it ended.
I guess for me it's was a deep wound that's kinda healed but it's gonna leave a mark for sure.

away, then going right back into it. Doesn't make sense to me. If I got bit by a poisonous snake, I wouldn't be messing with any more snakes.
And at some point, which is probably after marriage number #2 dissolves (everybody gets one mulligan I guess), If you are looking at marriage number 3, you might want to be doing a little self inventory, 'cause while other people may appear to be the problem, they probably aren't.

I was the one that instigated my divorce. Not much to it other than I wasn't happy, hadn't been in a while, and didn't see that changing. I walked out of the house with a suitcase of clothes and left the rest to her. Ended up paying ~$30,000 per year in alimony and child support for about 5 years until she got remarried. The only other way out of that was for her to die (which I had prepared some good schemes for should she not get remarried in a reasonable time frame). The amount of debt I built up sucked. My relationship with my daughter had to completely be rebuilt. It was very hard for the first several years in many different ways. But sad sack story aside, I wasn't happy in the relationship and the transition was tough, but all of that was worth it. Ashleymadison.com was really a life saver and my doctor in town here is good. She could always recognize what I had in no time at all, give me a prescription to take care of it, and get my Viagara refill at the same time. Sometimes I'd leave with a prescription for some Ambien "to help me sleep on the international flights". Those came in handy on those lonely Friday nights when I was tired of hogging it at the IBG and just wanted to vanish. There were a few nights where I had too much and the combination of vomiting with the beer ##### was a mess to clean up in the morning. I'll admit, it was kind of fun after the first few times to try to figure out what the smell was when I finally woke up the next morning. I still think the vomit odor was stronger, but I had several people ask me if a cat took a dump in the house. I don't have a cat.
