I do not have a relationship with most of our married friends because they there his friends and I divorced him. I have joined a bible study group that is mostly married couples with kids, so I will see what friendships that may form from this group. I feel the key is finding commonality with women in general.

I may try that. I joined a new church a few months ago and my daughter is in the youth choir so maybe I can try to befriend some of the other parents.

His friends have reached out to me (couples together, on email or text) saying they want to stay connected in our lives and that they support both my and my ex-h happiness. A very unique situation that I am grateful for.

Definitely the vibe I get from some of the moms at school. And frankly, I've had some of the dads give me kisses on the cheek or be a tad too friendly towards me, so they may be right.

Ewww. guess what all of you insecure married ladies? You can relax. I didn't want my husband. I sure as hell don't want your husband. I am done with husbands for the time being.
