Dealing with divorce

I'm trying come to terms with where I am.

The last two years have been a nightmare.

I found out my husband was having an affair with a young girl. Not only that but he'd been having affairs behind my back for years, even with someone I'd considered a good friend.

I tried to repair it but there wasn't anything to repair really.

I ended up sofa surfing around friends in my church and drinking far too much. Finally the old friend who'd cheated with my husband told me to wise up. I went to a good solicitor and drove through a tough divorce.

My kids wanted to stay in the big house with dad and the new girlfriend. That was probably the most painful thing.

A few months ago I moved into a new house in a new city and was simply totally lost. I met a neighbour who's been just brilliant. She was the first person I didn't feel was judging me. She keeps suggesting here so I thought I'd try it.

Wow thats pretty rough.
Well you can look at it this way,
Your single now and have the time to work on yourself.
You can go to the gym.
Maybe start taking a couple of classes to get a better job.
Rediscover yourself.
The new wife gets to stay home, take care of the cheating husband and babysit his kids while you are out having coffee with new friends.
At some point her life isn't going to be so peachy.
One the mistress becomes the wife, it opens up a position for a new girlfriend.
