This forum is a sign from the universe!!

Thanks all for your supportive words.

I'm trying to think of it as an exciting adventure!

Tho I will be a bit sad cos I'm going to have to go back to dial up interweb! No more streaming video from YT!! OH NO!!

Miniflash thanks for your words especially. It wasn't til you said that that I realised that I do have an awful lot of myself invested in this relationship to reclaim.

Girl power!

That's right GIRL POWER!!! ONE FOR ALL AND ALL FOR ONE!!! Go get you some retail therapy!!!

Believe me, there IS life after divorce....and most of the time it's a better one! My first husband was abusive and the best thing I ever did was leave him. I was a single mother for 10 years before I remarried and during those years I did a lot of soul searching and I'm closer to my boys than any mother I know. My oldest son has been married now for 9 years and I get along really well with my daughter-in -law. She told me thanks for raising him the way I did!

That was so nice of her to say that. You know, our kids learn from our mistakes too.

I'm so sorry to hear about your breakup. I really commend you for standing up for yourself and not getting rid of your precious furbabies just because he didn't like them. This was OBVIOUSLY something that was meant to be. I have always heard that you can tell a man's true heart by the way he treats a dog. This man is not worth your time. You go girl!

[Sherry Lynn]

Goes to show that you can't trust a person that doesn't like dogs....

Good luck. I'm sure everything is going to be fine... you have so many adventures coming your way!

I'm sorry for your pain and sense of loss.
I was divorced after a 7 yr marriage. It took time to rebuild, but I promise you will make it!
I have now been married for 21 yrs and had 2 more children and 2 grand daughters too! Life's what happens while we're making plans, so while you may occassionally sink in crap, you will also rise up to new heights again. Hang tough and one day soon you will shock yourself with the sound of your own laughter.
