Quote: Most people are much happier in their second marriages because they've learned from their mistakes."
I truly think that if I got a D and got remarried and faithfully followed DR and everything I have learned through couseling (trying to save this marraige), that I could be a success.
I would rather be a succes with the person I am ALREADY married to though! Unfortunatly he doesn't see it that way!!!
Quote: What are your thoughts about when Michele says "Unless you understand that "marriage" doesn't make people happy, you will spend the rest of your life trading in marital partners for new ones."?
This is true and I keep telling myself that , but I hate when I am out and see a couple gazing into each other's eyes, etc. It makes me miss what I had with my H and wonder if I will ever have it again with him or with soemone else!
Quote: When she talks about being satisfied with your own life, and being on a path that is satisfying to you as an individual?
I know that this is basically what DBing is all about. I know I am happy as I will get as a separated person living in limbo. It is so hard to be happy being alone when you know that the person who used to love you is now an alien!!!
Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.... (thoreau)
