At the BBQ it was strange because here I was, the single woman AGAIN. My friends met their spouses in their early-mid 20s. They have been with them for the last 11 years. I was transported to life 6 years previous...S was with stbxh and they were trying to be light hearted but said "woo hoo-- no kid responsibilities tonight. Lucky you!"
I suppressed my sadness and just said "yeah, gotta embrace the silver lining. Not to mention S gets twice as many b-day parties right?"
I kind of felt left out even though these were my best of friends. I know I am young but it still is rough "starting over" in life. Again, I know others have it worse, starting over after 10+ years of marriage.
It still sucks. I will accept it eventually.
