But this is really helpful for me to read. It's still easy to get caught up in the change of status and wanting to return to something normal. You're totally right, though.

I hung out with friends, dated (a bit), and traveled the world. I was so content with my life, that I was really hesitant to start dating anyone seriously. My friend had to trick me into dating her boyfriend's cousin. Yes, we're married now, but the difference this time around is that I know with 100% certainty that if our marriage ever ended, I would go back to doing what I was doing before I met him, and I would be fine.Blogger101https://www.blogger.com/profile/12311268181470791700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5218225809947861603.post-62026920916286086122016-02-19T08:58:45.863-05:002016-02-19T08:58:45.863-05:00Thank you!

Their life and issues are their business, and they'll have to think about what all this means for their relationship.<br /><br />And I do feel much happier! It's weird learning to be alone but it's so oddly comforting and hopeful.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13017357351474299489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5218225809947861603.post-40176555992376491052016-02-12T19:30:43.440-05:002016-02-12T19:30:43.440-05:00Many years from now, you will realize that the vie...Many years from now, you will realize that the view is so much better from the high road. Not many people do. Especially the kind of people that would publicly rejoice in the dissolution of one's marriage, at the risk of hurting the other party's feelings. That's just bad form.<br /><br />As someone that went through a divorce many years ago, I can completely empathize with your situation (he was my first date, and we were together for 12 years). And I can promise you, you are on the right path to happiness. <br /><br />I've read your previous blog, and now this one, and I have to say, you seem much happier now. And I'm truly happy for you.Blogger101https://www.blogger.com/profile/12311268181470791700noreply@blogger.com
