Well possibly not many of you will remember me.... its been quite a while since I have been on here. Life is good here in Australia well mostly, I am now divorced, no surprise there, seeing a nice man but having trouble actually settling into a relationship, life as a single mum and working gets very busy and so somedays I get stressed and grumpy and the only thing I feel is disposable is my man friend..... but I usually get over that feeling .
I definately have iceblocks on my feet when it comes to settling into my relationship and have a couple of times tried to end it.
My X was engaged to the OW but thankfully they split last week, hopefully forever, we get on ok , somedays I wish I could hate him though, I miss my old easier life, this is one of my biggest issues I think.
BigAl and I still chat most weeks, he is still my favourite american, and its time he came back on and wrote some more Bathsheba..... hehehehehehe he will probably tell me off for writing that.....
well hopefully someone remembers me.... I wish you all well hugs to all ruth
One thing I learned about new Rs - just live one day at a time. For me - there does not need to be an agenda, a future. Now, that might not be ok for all - but it works for me. I'm so glad I finally realized that.
One of my closest DB friends in 02 was from Australia. My new man and I are planning a cruise there in the new year. It is a lifelong dream for me and fortunately for him as well.
Awesome that your ex and OW split. I think it is a secret desire for many of us.
Anyway, life holds great adventures ahead. We just have to open up our hearts and minds and let it happen.
Thanks barb and pam, your right pam we will make it, I am at least lucky that my children are not young, I am not sure I would cope if they were toddlers, mine are 11 and 13 and quite independant.
well keep on DBing and stay happy hugs to all ruth
Hi Ruth! Its been awhile - I sure do miss Al and his Bathsheba stories...but life got busy, we healed some things, learned to live with others, and moved past needing to check in with this board every few hours, didn't we?
I'm glad for you that XH and OW broke up. Mine is still married to his OW, almost 2 yrs and counting. I wonder if all is well in that world, but I will never know until/if they split up.
I am also seeing someone. And I have trouble really getting into it, also. Not sure why...time will tell, I guess.
Take care, Ruthie! I might have to post an update or something. Hope all is well...
