I think the holiday knocks a lot of us down. I've struggled mightily the past seven days.

I know you don't want to hear it, but I doubt you are dooming yourself to being alone. I think you wrote once that you've never felt it was just you and H -- there was always some OW in the picture.

Just imagine if you someday do meet the right guy and it is just you and him -- that would be difficult to walk away from.

A friend of mine in Georgia got divorced about your age and she spent about three years trying to "find" someone. She said as soon as she stopped looking she found her second husband.

I try to remember that, but for me it's really hard. I'm still addicted to being in a relationship. I do so much with the girls -- and by extension STBXW even though we rarely talk or see each other -- that Monday through Friday almost feels like we're still married.

Weekends really get to me.
