[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Getting divorced was the best thing I've ever done. It brought me a new life and lots of happiness.

People say it's difficult, and parts of it are indeed difficult. But if you're in a bad marriage, the most difficult thing is the year BEFORE the divorce. Once the decision to divorce is made, things usually get better. And better.

Yes! Me too. I'm only a year out, but God, life is better. It's like I have been given a second chance.

Thank you for writing this. I've been telling friends that I was suffering in silence for two years before the separation. And that those were the worst two years of my life, along with the actual year of the divorce, which was just as bad.

After that, things have gotten so much better.

Getting close to two years out and I totally agree. Nothing was worse than those years in a dead marriage before separation, not even the divorce process. He was the one who had the affair. They're not together. He's with someone else now, as am I. Life is good. It was tough on the kids in the very beginning, but they're older, more mature and have dealt very well with the upheaval.

I'm shocked at how easy it was for me to move on after a 20+ year relationship, once I acknowledged that it was over.[/quote]
