That is exactly it, you were given a gift of a second chance.

When my WW left, I thought my world was over. BUT I rose to the challenge and overcame every obstacle that was put in my path.

As for dating, you will know when you are ready. I had people left and right trying to set me up with their friends/sisters/etc, I turned almost all of them down. I knew I wasn't ready for anything. BUT the more I GAL'd, the more I started feeling better about the prospect of dating. At first it was awkward, I was used to already knowing almost everything about said person. I found it fun actually, but for the first few dates I was a bit...off... The biggest issue I found were too many girls wanted to rush into things and the ones that weren't were not a very good fit.

I think that's one reason I like J so much. She is instant on taking things slow, she doesn't want to rush, she doesn't want to talk about the future together, one day at a time. Which is fine with me, it's great actually, lol.

If I was in your shoes, I would consider taking a class that you have always wanted to do. See what is out there and start getting to know yourself again. That was the hardest part for me, the nights alone. When I my kids were sleeping, friends were gone and I was by myself. That was when I would start getting depressed. So I did things to make sure it didn't happen.

You will get through this and mark my words, soon enough you will not even know why you were with him in the first place.

So yes, you were given a gift. You were given a gift of a happy future. Good luck and embrace it, JulieH
