Hi Jeff - Sorry it has been so long since I last posted. I have been getting on with my humdrum life and have largely been enjoying it. Believe me though, there are times when I still go into a post divorce funk and find myself pining away for how things used to be. However, I found a recent post of yours to be profound. You wrote: "Our spouse has simply fallen out of love with us and feel as guilt-ridden about it as we feel pain about their leaving. Our board here is a place to rationalize our pain for something that we don't understand and find difficult to accept." After nearly a year of being divorced it is still difficult but it is certainly bearable. There are even times where I have been able to forget about it and really enjoy myself.
I am still dating but the relationship is not very serious even though we seem to enjoy each others' company. More ominously, she appears to be going through some of the same mid-life crap my ex went through so I have to watch out.
Please let me congratulate you on moving on with your life in such a positive and dignified manner. I also greatly admire the kind words you provided to our friend "Bleak2dismal." Your friendship, support, advice, and heads-up knowledge remain an inspiration.
I hope the summer goes well for you and the kids, and that things will progress with your ex so that you are able to maintain a cordial relationship.
