After all the garbage, I met my current wife -- who is one of the most amazing people I've ever known. And we have an awesome relationship. So it does get better. Don't be afraid to let the emotions of the situation in. It's important to take the time to grieve. Be well.

Labuda, tears are certainly ok, that was a big part of your life. But now go and enjoy yourself (I know you will)!! Ah, to be young and single ;-)

Originally Posted By Labuda Thanks, all. And Jim, yeah, I know already that IF I ever get married again, it would take a lot of work on my part to make it worse. It's funny - when the judge was asking if the way we split assets was equal, my brain said "oh, HELL NO" but I went ahead and said yes, just to help get it over with. I'd much rather give up some property than be married to Eric one moment longer. Oh, and I think I should get bonus points for not showing up with a hickey. 42 years old and sporting a hickey - LOSER!

Originally Posted By Labuda Martinis? Anytime at all, girl! As for your ps - nope, his new fiancée did it. Funny thing is, she makes HIM look like a real winner. heh

I was in nearly the same boat, except the ex-fiance was cheating on me with a cocktail waitress at a strip joint.

Originally Posted By Lady Starlight Congradulations!! Labuda, you SHALL be just fine lovie! You will see that the best thing that's happend in your life so far is losing that loser! After being married and dealing with all you had to deal with including the divorce, being single will be so incredibly refreshing! I understand how hard it is to go to the divorce court and be in the same room with your Ex. My ex brought his girlfriend with him every time we went to court, and he ,like yours, had hickeys all over him as well. CLASSY! LOL You were the stronger one and held your head up high. ATTA WOMAN!!! After I was divorced it was like my eyes opend and I was looking at a whole new world out there that was all mine for the taking.You now have it too. With loving family and loving friends you will see how incredibly wonderful your life now is without him. Everything happends for a reason and it's ALWAYS to better ourselves. :-D Go with your badself girlfriend!!! Woot Woot!!
