I guess I get the award for the first posting of getting divorced, huh?

Could really use some people to talk to right now....

I'm so sorry to hear that.

It happens to the best of us! There ARE brighter days ahead. Keep your head held high and keep your thoughts about the future. Take what you experienced from your marriage and learn from it. You'll be a better person because of it. And most of all, stay strong...remember, we're here for you. :)

So very true, as Amanda said it happens to the BEST of us. I have to say, my "better half" that I have now is WAY better than my ex husband ever was. I have been with him about as long as I was ever with/married to my ex and I couldn't be happier. I think everything happens for a reason, and I figure I was married the first time to teach me how things REALLY should bee and that I CAN be happy. I know what I DON'T want now. Live and learn as they say. Just as long as you learn from your experiences you should be in good shape.

It is very tough, but does get better. As others have said you will come out of this stronger and more confident. My first marriage was a big learning lesson and taught me what I wanted and needed in a life companion. When things are down there is only one place to go and that is up.

it's a longggggggggggggggg and heartbreaking process, but it can be done... i posted two or three weeks ago about getting seperated/divorced and thank god for all our chin forum family!!~~~ check out the *hi guy's* thread under chit chat.. i am sure that most of the support and advice i got? will tremendously help you too..
it's been only a month for my situation, (husband wants out, not me) and i have been taking one day at a time.. it's all we can do at time's like this.. if you need to bawl your eyes out, DO IT.. if you need to express anger, DO IT.. it is crucial to your staying strong.. i never thought i'd get past most of the emotional pain as soon as i have, but apparently once i got the tear's out and realized that i myself was not *truly* happy anymore either in the marriage, it has went a tad smoother.. i still have moments for crying, i know it will be a long time before i am *over it all*, but you wake up each and every day, say out loud that you are strong and will get past this.. everyone is right, you may realize later on, that your *next* adventure in love will be the one it should have been the first time around..
feel free to PM me anytime.. it hurts, and you must allow yourself time to grieve what's not anymore..
