Ahh...Great America; haven't been there in years. When I taught school in New Lenox I took some students there. It's fun, but definitely not a place if you're sick.

From a female's perspective.... you are way different at 31 than 41. You still haven't a clue who you are at 31 and at 41 you are well on your way. You're insecure and looking for approval at 31, at 41 you don't give a crap because you have already validated yourself. At 31 you want marriage, babies, the white picket fence. At 41 enough of life has passed to know there is no such thing as the fairy tale and it takes a lot of darn work on BOTH parts to make things happen.

IMHO, she would be your "rebound relationship." Now, there's nothing wrong with that, I'm just saying it is what it is.

Glad you have that support group; I'm a fan of stuff like that having done a 10-week support group myself last fall.
