Friends, (Hm. First time that word has comfortably rolled off my tongue in years!)
Thank you for your support over the past couple of days. I have decided to start a new thread not in "Single-Now What?" but in "Divorced But Not Done!"
I think it is best for me not to dwell on the pain and ugliness of what I am feeling, but immediately start looking for a better meaning.
Not sure where I saw it, but the other day I read a post that was so beautiful. It was about suddenly being blinded and learning to see in other ways.
I wrote down what the author said, and I'd like to thank whoever it was that wrote it, because it has given me another reliable foot hold to help me climb out of despair.
She wrote:
"To make a long story short, I do want to be friends at this point because my marriage IS over. Wether we can build a new one using our other abilities is what I want to find out now and I can't do that until all of the old feelings are out of the way."
This is exactly how I feel and I think my wife may even feel it a little too.
Will check in with you all a little further down the road as our paths continue to cross.
