Recovering from a Broken Marriage and Broken Heart
Posted: 5/31/2008 6:28:47 PM
Been there, done that. Was married 17 years. I blame the internet. WOuld not want it in my house. I turned to the internet after my divorce almost 4 years ago. Because I am not a barfly or regular church goer. So, can't meet anyone there. I also work 2 jobs and volunteer. I keep myself busy all the time. I hate coming home to a empty apartment. It is too quiet and depressing. Keep busy, volunteer somewhere.

i'm going through it for the second time. my wife of 12 years cheated on me and took the kids which devistated me. after a year i met who i thought was my soulmate and best friend. we have been together for over ten years. she has 2 children who I have raised as my own. (my 2 are grown and have kids of their own). Last year her son went into the army after graduating. it all went down hill form there. she became detached, unemotional, etc. I tried to give her time to adjust and talk with her but found out she had ben chatting online and putting herself out there. she is never home, always on the go, always has excuses of where she's been, starterd not coming home at night, basically I'm living alone but, I have to look at my failure and deal with the lies because of her daughter living with us. I can not throw out a woman with a child. If she would just leave I think i could deal with it but, 1 day i think things are good the next she disappears. I still go to work, it takes things off my mind but when I get home everything comes flooding back and i'm so damned depressed i don't feel like doing anything. any advice people could give me would be greatly appreciated

well, I'm kinda newly matured, but look for personality. Cave a little on looks because models often have little to no personality or a bad one. I always put high stress on personality these days. Other than that- take a good look at the person's childhood because it will give you insight as to what they will be like when they are attatched. Oh- and look up a book called how not to fall in love with a jerk(ette). I have one myself along with some other info put out by the authors and it has been a lifesaver to me.

He asked me to marry him as he had another women spend the night and was still in the house. Check that one out . The entire time for the passed two years of our relationship he was seeking other women to have friendships with. Haha what a joke not happy with what we had. So I ended it......now I am back to reading tons, gardening, well getting out of hand with that not much more room in my yard for more flower, but they make me so happy. Going back to school, spending time with the girls. Your life is not over when they play on the internet. A true relationship killer. Next man i am going to throw his computer out the window. Spend time doing what you couln't do when you were together. Life will find a new journey. I am not into another relationship now. It is time to heal myself as bad as that might sound. Get up and do something for you. Church is wonderful. The Lord will if you believe will help you thru anything that happens in your life. Nothing but nothing in Gods world happens by accident.

good luck ,
bit of honey.

Really? Have you encountered every woman on the planet to know with certainty that is a true statement? Perhaps a little honesty begins with the person who can't seem to find it in the women he's encountering.

Women over 40 are looking for men who aren't dumbasses.

what should i do i really need help everyone
Posted: 6/5/2008 10:36:55 PM
well i was with my ex for four years she was 10 years older and had 2 kids with 2 difguys i never looked at it as more then a fling from the start but yes i fell head over heels for her. on day out of the blue just going in a fight and like the i was out at the curb i think its cause i said i wanted to move in and move the relation ship foward. well during the time together i spent alot of money as gifts for the house the kids and her but onething i didnt do as a gift was pay 2 grand for her teeth to get fixed and wouldnt take it as a gift she said she wants to pay me back. so heres the story when we broke up she kept saying i am going to pay you back she even called the dentist to find out how much it was now that was 8 months ago and still nada i mean i could have really cared less about it because i dont want to take money away from her poor kids. but recently i have found that she writes about me on myspace how gay is that lol and the day after my b-day she made it a point to take a pic of her and a guy and put it on her page and then she made a com that she did it just so i would see it and it would hurt me. now this pissed me off and no i want my stuff and i am thinking about coomfonting her about it. anyone have any avice for me please. thanks

Firstly, i feel for you very much and hope that you don't feel totally worthless, you are certainly blameless.
You need to accept that what you've had has now gone and have to move on, it won't be easy, you have to regain your self-confidence first, feel good about yourself, get a new hairdo, switch make-up whatever but slowly and surely do not drown in desprair, it's his loss, it's your new life ahead and at 45, yours' is just about to begin again.
Take time to do all the things you've dreamt about doing, take up new hobbies, meet new people through that, just never give up and a pleasant surprise just may be around the corner ?
Don't feel bitter about it too much, it will only make you stumble on the road forward to a new life and hold you back. You can't change the past but you can shape your own future.

Hope this helps, best of luck to you xx

Don't worry what men want and even THINK about making yourself into a certain image to market yourself...

Just be you.

The right one will be evident... and everyone else will be a 20 minute cup of coffee.

Take your time.

You need a break! Take one.
Stronly suggested...

Be single for a while and discover who you are.
If you do have a relationship... don't take it too seriously.

Good luck.
