Tipper,

I'm sorry to hear you are back here too. A little information on my sitch. My ex left in 2005 but we didn't divorce until 2009. I tried everything with him but he was having an affair and of course wouldn't work things out with me. I was apart from him for almost 4 years before I started dating again. I had healed from the separation and actually, my ex and I did our own divorce papers and just had one lawyer to file them. We agreed on everything. We even laughed together about stuff as we signed the papers.

I started dating this guy in October of 2008 and my divorce was final in June 2009. My new guy and I had 2 wonderful years without and fights, fusses or anything. We got along good until I started pushing him and trying to make him tell me how he felt. Everyone kept telling me that it had been long enough and he should be saying he loved me and stuff. I should have followed the actions and not words because he was the best thing that has ever happened to me. I cared more for him than the man I was married to for 20 years and had 2 kids with. I shouldn't have pushed. I shouldn't have listened to everyone else and just left things as they were. I just hope there is still time to fix things.
