I am 4 years post-bomb and 6 months out of the divorce gate. I felt one advantage to waiting was that a lot of the emotion was drained and I could just be sad and deal and was able to move on. I am not going to say that it is easy but there is life on the other side.

One thing w/being divorced is that it does free you to move on. Dating made me realize there are more fish in the sea. It is also fun! Current Fish is a good catch and I am surprised and pleased and honored to know him.

Dating expanded my horizons and I am happier and more in touch with the old Forward. I was at an event I would never have gone to w.ex.

OW left X about 3 months post divorce. When there was a real problem.

X immediately picked up another GF but at this point I realize that he needs to deal with his own problems. He didn't see me as a possibility and still doesn't.
