Thanks Kerry. Sometimes I feel I have it together, but then sometimes I realize it's all hanging by a thread.

I do think that dating (when you're ready and not just looking for a crutch) a good person really helps the process and yourself. When I compare my BF with my STBXH it really puts things into perspective. I deserve to be treated with respect, to be with someone who's thoughtful, moral, ethical and who just makes me laugh and enjoys being with me. It seems so simple, doesn't it, but for so long I just wanted to get my H back and I didn't see who he had become. So now that the choices have been made, I can watch STBXH walk away with very little sadness on a personal level. Made even easier by all the DAM choices he continues to make.

And this new guy is really great. I simply enjoy being with him, he makes me laugh more than I have in many years and we have a really good time together. All good here and I'm not taking a single day for granted anymore.
