But my ex did not leave me for another woman, he married this girl a few years later. He was 46, she was 26, and he accused her of having an affair. He accused me of the same, and that just is absurd. I divorced him because he was abusive. That was 1994, and I came to DB 2001 2 relationships later. I wish I had found DB early during my marriage because I think we could have developed some skills to save the marriage. I am not saying or would never advise someone to stay with someone who was putting them in physical harm. I wasn't being beaten, there was just enough physical, and he was getting worse. I was afraid for the kids as well, in fact, that's the point I ended it. At that point I believe there was no other choice, but we were married 10 years, and I believe if we had DB early on or at the midpoint, we could have changed things.
My relationship now is 9 years strong. We broke up for 4 months at one point, but we are happier than ever. You can be really happy too, rys, and I really hope and pray that happens for you.
I'm really glad you had the life coaching experience. Will it continue? Have you ever tried yoga? I have been going to classes at our Y for a couple of years, and now G is going with me (we just got back a little while ago). It makes you feel really cared for, at least in the right class. It's something healthy to do for yourself. Again--I'm really glad you took the life coaching class.
My kids are doing really well now, I appreciate your kind thoughts.
God bless you too, I'm keeping you in my prayers.
