No I am not standing for my marriage, as it is over, and my xh is in lalaland. I am standing for me, and right now I am not in or looking for another relationship. At this stage in my life, it would not be the right thing for me. But everyone is different.
My bd was October 2005, and my xh still swings in out of the trees to cause grief!! Bless him.
I think we do what is the right thing for us. I have not closed out the idea of another relationship, but mine was a very very long relationship and a very bitter divorce, sadly.
I was simply not ready to have a relationship with anyone else. I have many friends and a loving family, and that feels safer to me than embarking on a new relationship.
I think it makes me sound like a total woose, but a happy and contented little woose!
