I Am Looking Forward To A New Beginning And A New Life

My marriage is over. My soon to be ex husband has already moved on and found "the woman of his dreams". I've learned a lot through these years. Marriage takes work, and both people need to be willing to do it.

Two important lessons I've learned:

(1) communication is HUGE!! No matter what it's about, what you're feeling... say it! Otherwise the other person can misinterpret which can cause resentment.

(2) Never stop dating your spouse. Never assume they know how you feel and never get so comfortable that you neglect them. We all want that romance and connection to last.

I've learned more but those two stood out for me. This is a life changing experience. I will persevere though.

You are so right on both aspects. I divorced after 20 years of marriage myself. I am now engaged to an amazing wonderful man who is my best friend and lover. there isn't anything I cannot tell him!!!

Good luck in your next chapter in LIFE!!!!

So awesome to know that can happen! May I ask how long it took you to find your new love?

You have to let go first before you can move on. Comparing everyone to another is wrong and will only keep from finding true happiness. This is just my opinion.
