I've talked to several men since I've begun the wonderful OLD thing - lol - who have told me that they've been legally separated for looooong periods (I'm talking up to 4 years).

That is a sad story, moon. Your exh was obviously very stupid to leave such a wonderful positive wife and mom as you - he sounds like the type to never be happy with what he has.

That must have been hard to find out about the gf - I can understand how you would say your heart divorced and then it took a while for your head to catch up. And I can understand your grief for being married and then losing it - sometimes when I think about all that happened I get sad. Not because I want my exh back because I fully accept that he is not capable of a loving and good relationship but because of the whole mess - it is not what I would ever willingly sign up for nor want to do for a family.

I am happy for you that you met someone nice so quick - bravo!

And to this:
" I did encounter a couple guys with profiles online that stated they were separated, but would never consider getting involved with a man unless things were final. Why would you put yourself through all that drama and potential heartache?"

That is gem of the day!! Very good and wise thinking -

It was hard to find out about the gf, especially because she was one of my close friends.

OMG - she was a friend, too? That must have been such a shock - and such a blow to your whole world. I bet you wanted to shake both of them and scream, "how could you be so selfish?"
