[quote=Anonymous]Over the past year my 10 year marriage fell apart. It became apparent that we were never a good fit and he had serious character and personality defects where he serially cheated on me and became an alcoholic.

I am now single again. Meanwhile my two best friends from childhood are happily married and in thriving marriages. Yes yes lots of married people around but…I remember us as single girls in our twenties and now they’re married happily and having babies while…I’m back to square one.

I’m also late thirties so there’s no guarantee I will ever get to have children and meet another man romantically.

These two women have become close and share baby and life milestones and I feel left behind and not at all part of this club.

It’s really hard. I find myself being jealous their lives are one celebration of a milestone after another. Baby showers, birthdays, buying new homes etc.

Meanwhile I have nothing to show for the past 10 years except emotional scars of being in an emotionally abusive marriage and now I’m bitter and jaded.

How can I help process these feelings? [/quote]
