Your words hit a cord. I am thankful for them. I too, see that while I haven't had the satisfaction of seeing any of the wrongs righted, time does make everything better. I was in a similar situation as yours. We had been M 23yrs. His new W is not younger but very rich. And at times, it does get me down seeing how he travels so much, buying expensive toys, while the kids and I struggle so.
On top of it, he has blamed me for the terrible relationship he has with all 3 of the kids. Oh well. The main point is that your words were very soothing. Sometimes I feel very lonely and getting (and feeling)older by the minute. I just celebrated 1 full yr. since final D. and 4 yrs. since I started this journey. Maybe I will be lucky enough to find a friend to share just some of the things I miss about M, like going out to dinner, watching t.v. together and snuggling. Laughing at silly jokes, etc.
I've noticed that while it doesn't hurt much anymore, it has changed me profoundly. I am more serious now and am struggling to find fun in my life. As well as keeping up my faith in God. I know God is not to blame.
Anyhow it's good to hear another person finding love and moving on in a positive way. Divorce especially "unwanted divorce" forever changed my life and those of my children. I hope others learn not to take divorce lightly especially when kids are involved.
