Lodo -

What a tough day for you. I hope you take some time to think about your future as opposed to dwelling on the past right now. I know you felt that your W and you were soul mates and that was true in your heart. She just did not see it that way and sometimes you just have to let them go to find their own happiness.

I think you ended your marriage in a good way which should make it much easier to have a new beginning. Take your time and I am sure that you will find someone better.

I just started reading "Mars and Venus on a Date" and I think it might be worth your reading when you decide you are ready to enter the dating life again. There is some good stuff in it about relationships in general that is very enlightening.
