surviving and thriving

[g450]

I am also in a new relationship. And like you chatterbug I have not been here in well over a years.

And you are right. You never stop thinking about them. How could I not? I was married to this woman for over 20 years. And this new relationship brings with it memories of the old one. But that's not a bad thing.

I hope you are right about second marriages being better CTH. But from what I read they are something like 50% more likely to fail because they are in fact second marriages. I have high hopes for my next one as I did not destroy the last one. I think that speaks volumes. But I did learn from it and will bring that to my next marriage.

Not sure what the banning was about since I was not here. I do frequent another forum though. But even that one I have been away from. I like to help people going through this stuff but it is painful to read the stories. Seems so many things are always so familiar. It's like divorce is an epodemic.
