[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's just sad. I'm not a failure, but my marriage did fail. I have to think about it daily because we have children together. It's just different than what I had planned for my life and how I planned to raise my kids. There is a lot of nostalgia, especially when I am confronted with dropping kids off with their dad and his girlfriend. It's like looking in on what my life should have been, but will never be. Not saying my life is unpleasant- it's better in many ways. Just very different, and I do get sad about it.[/quote]

This is it for me, coupled with guilt about my kids having to have a divided life. My life is better in many ways and I in no way want our marriage back, but there is always that feeling of "why wasn't [b]I[/b] enough" when he remarried someone like me in so many ways (physical appearance, sense of humor, etc) and now seems happy.

We are able to deal with everything very amicably, so the kids aren't torn between us. There are no new kids in the picture so neither I nor the kids have that to contend with but it's still hard for them  to go back and forth between homes, etc. And while my longterm financial picture is healthier now, we definitely had a lot more disposable income when we were married and could have offered the kids more in a material sense than I can on on my own.[/quote]
