DonH,

Thanks for replying and for the words of encouragement. Of course I'm hoping to get back with my W, but I'm getting along far enough to see if we never get back together I *think* I will be okay. I'm definitely in a much better place than I was the first three months after BD day. Back then, like most here, I was in a deep funk trying to figure out what I was going to do from one moment to the next.

A couple of weeks ago I was following your thread. I had lost track because I forgot your thread wasn't in the newcomer's thread. I found your thread incredibly interesting concerning your life after 10 years post-divorce. You're tale is one that concerns me as far as finding the next "someone". I don't need to share my life with someone as I'm happy being by myself, but I won't kid myself saying my life wouldn't be enriched by sharing my life with someone special.

I know it will take some time to find that someone special because I know every woman I meet will be compared to my W. Currently my W brings a lot to the table, even with her faults, so it's a high bar the woman would have to clear. But that's for another time in the future.
