Hi Jen! Sorry you have to be here, but it sounds like you are goingot start a peaceful new life. i m one of the fewer people on her going througha dvorce at a younger age, we are both 29 and seperated almost 16months, D day set for July 23rd.
we do have a daughter though, she will be 2 in sept (yup, he left me when she was 6 months old, after all the infertility treatments and conceiving our miracle baby)It is very hard learning how to be a mom and going through a divorce at the same time, but I love my daughter to death.
I say go for the date. There is no time set on too soon. Only you know that. And you will know when you go on the date.I went on one early on in my seperation and I found out I was so not ready. Then I dated a guy for fun (only 21) and that ended. Nothing for 9 months for me. I am ready for a companion and when I am legally divorced, I will accept some of the setups my friends would like to do.
We are young and were just settling in a life which didn'tlast that long, it's difficult. My friends have been married with kids for a few years and of course, it's early on and none of them are headed for divorce, they are enjoying their families.
Keep on going in the right directon.
Hey girl I am so very sorry to hear about your sitch as well. You know it never ceases to amaze me ---I will never understand how someone who once loved you enough to marry you could just leave you like that...especially in your case with a young daughter..what a shame. Sounds like you are much better off, which I know we all hear this all the time....and someday we will feel that too.
Thank you for sharing your dating experiences with me. Sometimes you dont know until you try, and as long as you are careful and keep your guard up thats all that matters
I feel like you on the dating thing...so now is where I update about my date!
I had a nice time, the guy was fun to talk to and we had a lot in common but thats about it. Will I go out with him again..eh, probably not. But it was nice to get out of the house and meet someone new. One thing it made me feel later on that night.....as I heard in a song "my heart remains faithful" to H, for now, unfortunately!
Im just trying to get through each day and now knowing that I dont need a man right now..Im just trying to take care of myself and I realized that being alone isnt so bad at all! No arguing, no drama... its just me!
I have comfort in the fact that I know, someday, H will realize how much he missed out when he let me go. May be years from now, I may never know it...but I know it will happen. I was a great wife to him, i finally see that now after blaming myself for the last year...and he will never find someone like me.
