still moving on

[Ahoy]

Just a quick update to all of you still in the thick of things. It can be so much better, and will be, in time. For me, no amount of dbing made a difference. I divorced, sold my house, moved back to my home state. The very day my divorce was final, I found out I got my old job back. Two weeks later I reconnected with a guy I had known for 10 years, and we have been seeing each other ever since. He is everything I need: honest, loyal, trustworthy, kind. Even so, going through this process has taught me to retain my sense of self in a relationship. I've gained the tools to have a healthier, more balanced relationship with someone who is worthy of the effort. I wish the same for you all. There's something to be learned no matter what the outcome with your spouse. For me, having moved on, I can see that the path I have taken has led to growth and a better life. Good luck to you all, and thanks to those of you who saw me through those dark, early days!
