[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's so easy to type, "time to divorce!" The reality, however, is awful.  Even in situations where it is clear it had to happen (as in my case), the reality of it just sucks.

It's the hardest thing I've ever done. People say, "Good for you for not staying! So many people don't leave abusive relationships."  They seem to think that ends it.

Funny how so many of them are not the ones who are there when you are wracked with sobs in the middle of the night - when you mourn what should have been, what could have been, what you hoped and dreamed of. When you mourn the time when you had hope he would change. When you have to remind yourself that you can't allow the good memories to erase the bad - that it all happened and is all part of one whole.

Few people are all one thing or another. If my STBX was only 100% abusive and there were no good memories, this would be easy. If it were easy, [b]I would not be facing single, almost 50, and no realistic hope for a romantic future[/b].  Nor would I be crying over the past. To those who say, "Better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all," I say, "Liars!" Except that, without my marriage, i wouldn't have my children, and then I would really have no reason to go on at all.[/quote]

Why do you say this?  I am over 50 and have been dating a 53 year old woman.  I can't be the only person on the planet doing this.[/quote]
