DD is finishing her freshman year at a local university, living in the dorm and still discerning a major. Beautiful inside and out, a wonderful young woman. Finally seem to have found a stable job in the very unstable world of healthcare; have been here 2 years. Not dating; one pseudo-relationship in the past 7 years since xh left. It never really took off, I believe he's now married to someone he often described as "just like <me>". No desire to have any further relationships. Lost my faith, which has been disorienting, but survived and my life is more stable than it has been since the upheavals of 2008 (when I started out here). Life is quiet and rather cloistered, and it's ok. I've learned to enjoy my own company. I believe that almost everyone I know from here and in real life whose marriages ended...has remarried. Never one to follow the crowd! All the best, y'all, from the midwest. don't believe everything you read about hoosiers!

btw--this place was companionship, caring, advice, support, and a shoulder to cry on during a very dark time. there were friends here I will never meet, but who were a real blessing. I have tremendous gratitude.

So glad to hear an update. Hey I a not remarried so you are not alone. As my brilliant 16 year old tells me, " It is great that you put it out in the Universe, now go meet the Universe half way." Now that both the boys have moved out and I truly have every other weekend alone(this just started) maybe I will get out and about.

Great to see an update from you. I also joined the site back in 2008 and remember your posts. I'm a former "hoosier" - I lived in Indiana for about 6 years back in the 80's. Loved living there.
I'm still unmarried as well - but that is in the process of changing. it took me several years to find a gem but I finally got lucky and have found a beautiful diamond of a woman. Expect to change my marital status sometime next spring/summer.
