[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember reading self help articles when I got divorced six years ago that said over time all wounds heal and you “thrive” again. Well, the results are in and I didn’t meet that ideal. On the positive side, I am definitely over my ex wife who is happily remarried as I understand, I’ve tried to be a good dad, and remain gainfully employed thankfully. But I’ve been alone all these years, still live in the same apartment to which I fled, and don’t have much of a plan other than to retire, buy a border collie, and move somewhere picturesque and way less expensive than here. Anyway, I just am wondering if you’ve been divorced five or more years are you “thriving?”[/quote]

I am but only in the last two years. I have been divorced since 2011. My XH cheated and it gutted me for a lot of reasons as it was out of character for him and, I loved my husband. We didn't have children (yet, we had been working on them for most of the marriage) and I couldn't stay married to a cheater. The wounds were deep though and I had several other losses in the years right after so cumulatively it was a lot of emotional pain. I got a good therapist in 2016 as I hit rock bottom and was considering killing myself, and working with them helped me get it together. I hope you find your happiness. [/quote]
