Sara, you are doing so well! Sounds like you and this new guy are being smart about your relationship. Looks aren't everything hon, those fade....personality and how you get along are way more important IMO. A guy's personality always makes them more or less attractive to me.

Is it bad that I now think that ending my marriage (while it still wasn't ever what I wanted or wished for) might actually have been a somewhat good thing for me? I feel so much more like myself now than I have felt in the past 7 years. Being with my now ex husband was a lot like caring for a small child.
I often have a hard time with this too. I have to remind myself that it is ok to be ok and ok to be happy. A part of me feels that if I am happy, then I must have been wrong about my marriage all along, but that is simply not true. He changed, and I still deserve to be happy. My marriage was a lot like caring for a small child also...but I feel that I am as much to blame for that as he is. Live and learn. I won't make the mistake of being the "mother" in a R again.
