Question for the officially divorced

[ClingingToHope]

I'm not divorced yet, but I'll chime in on a couple of things I've been told. A friend who is 42 said it took her four years to feel like herself again. And her husband was a serial cheater and they had no kids.

A coworker who has been happily married to his second wife for nearly 20 years told me last year that his second marriage is superior in every single way to the first. Yet there hasn't been a week yet that he hasn't thought about the first wife at least once.
