[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think it's healthy and great that you are in a good place and feeling free...it's not the man you may grieve, but the "dream" you had of building a life with someone, etc. You may idealize what it is like to be "happily married" even if that wasn't meant to be with your spouse. The first party I went to after my husband and I were facing the reality of how bad things were and deciding to separate, I found myself envying every woman there and just assuming they were in totally awesome, fulfilling marriages. Of course that is not the case! Marriage is tough, and though some people have great marriages, it is still work and it's not a fantasy. It's a reality. And it is not the key to happiness. You can be happily married, unhappily married, and same with being single.

I think it's great that you are in therapy. Take care of yourself and be kind to yourself. Try to meet some single mom friends. It sounds like you have a solid coparent in your ex, so use the shared custody/time to yourself to try a new hobby, meet people, etc. [/quote]
