How did you go about starting over after divorce?

Mainly for fellow divorcees after ending long-term marriages.

Marriage changed and challenged me in so many ways. I can't see love the same way anymore. Not in a bad way, but realizing it isn't enough.

Starting another relationship which may also end like this doesn't bother me. It's better to appreciate the moment instead of worrying about uncertain futures.

There's a future I want, with someone, though it is very uncertain. It's possible it may not happen in this life.

It's a rarity finding decent people. Feels like the worlds changed so much. Or maybe my luck ran out. Who knows.

How did you do it? Where did you end up?

Thanks.

Heavy stuff!

Hubby dumped me, due to lifestyle differences, and then there was a period of time where I thought that I was on solid ground with someone but it turned unstable.

Then I just found myself in the view of this stunning creature. Someone that I wasn't expecting. Hit me hard. She was a lesbian.

4 wonderful years, 1 lovely year, 1 so-so year and we split up, by my hands. Very hard.

Cue more frogs being kissed, unsuccessfully.

Some 6-8 years later I (literally!) bumped into that woman again. Same feelings. Like being slapped around the head with a bloody big fish!

Long story short, we felt the same, started dating, got married (as soon as it was legal), had a child together and...boom! That's the last 11 or 12 years.

So...have faith...don't go looking...it will find you.....
