Any hope/suggestions after over 2 years?

[cat03]

I also been on the boards since late 05, I can half relate.

Seems you hanged on for a very long time, with him gone away so far, it does seem like it is time to move on. I'm curious as if why you still expect him to help you financially if there are no children no other property to talk about.

13 years is a long time... (and Ellie, 20? wow). We gave so much of our lives to our Hs...BUT, there is still lots of time before us. Yes, a good chunk of our lives are gone with them, but I refuse to think of them as lost, I lived a good life and had happy years which I'll treasure.

We should've becomed better persons through DB, if not for another R then for ourselves, that this trial have served to forge better, stronger wiser persons, that our battle scars remind us that we fought with courage and that we have it in us to live a happy life regardless. My best wishes to you believeih, we may/may not find another partner, but our happiness depends on us, not in another person.

It is hard to begin a new path, but I'm confident as we take one small step after the other we will become stronger, we have a new future to forge and right now it looks hazy since we thought we had it all figured out with our Hs, but in time we will be able to dream up a new happy future for each of us.
