This is a great bunch of ladies and couple of guys too. I don't give too much advice to anyone simply because by the time I think of what to say, somebody's usually already posted it! So join in anytime.

Howdy! Glad to have you here and glad to hear you took time for yourself. That is a big investment that will pay off huge in the future. Because I think when you are really happy alone that you can mentally afford to be a lot more picky and a lot less needy. And picky is good. Sorry to hear you are ending your marriage - but at the same time glad that you have a new beginning. We look forward to hearing more from you!! Welcome!!

Hi Kim! I divorced when I was 38 after being married for 21 years, so I understand every word you posted! I also have a 16 year old son. I really enjoy being single and have been for 5 years. My dating life hasn't been too great, but I am happy with my life!
Glad you decided to stop lurking and join us.

For me, I just jumped in the water so to speak. I didn't have too much of a game plan at that time other than having a place to go. Once I had a place to go, I told him the next morning, packed myself that very day with the help of two of my sisters, and got the heck out of dodge. All this done whether he wanted it or not. To this day, he would probably take me back, but for once in his life, it's not about him.

Welcome mizzkimber!


You sound so very "together" with all of this! Although you say you are floundering with the divorce issue, you are also very well AWARE of what is wrong with the delayed divorce and not in total denial of the situation. I would be more worried about you if you were telling us of your story and were still hanging onto hope after these years the way your ex is. I think you've moved further on with your healing than he has. But you do need to realize what is best for both of you, and know that hurting him (again) sucks- but it's also no longer
