Re:uggh so frustrated! EssieDotCom: lol that's okay I ramble a lot too.
Re:uggh so frustrated! raistlynne: Uggh - unfortunately for me, I know exactly how you guys feel. I think that sometimes I still measure new men by the same ruler I measured the ex, and this is what is keeping me unhappy. And certainly hearing happy married couple stories chafes my hindquarters...
Re:uggh so frustrated! JazzBaby: Bleh -- one of my coworkers got a HUGE bouquet of flowers for her anniversary today. I was really happy to see her so happy, because she's a great girl. But BLEH just the same.
Re:uggh so frustrated! AmyMarie1972: I think that at first i felt that way but now I am so happy for those that have that type of relatioship. Not saying that i dont feel the tinyest bit jealous sometimes but that i can live with because I would rather my friends be happy with eachother than see them apart and miserable.
Penguin you are right, its just a case of moving on. Being on your own is not so bad, and you get to learn to be yourself all over again which is great.
It just takes time

Re:uggh so frustrated! naynay: Just a thought, some of those "so called" perfect marriages are not that perfect. A woman I work with hates my guts (basically because I am single, have my own house, and manage to pay my own bills, and maybe because I am cuter than her) yet she is the one that was always running around yakking about how perfect her (3rd) marriage is, how perfect her life is, and how perfect her kids are. Then when you listen to the between the lines stuff, her kids got in trouble, her and her 3rd husband don't agree on alot of stuff, she is worried about bills because she has to take a minor paycut (they built a large house in an expensive area, and when I was talking about thinking about having my own swimming pool, she ran out and spent about 25 grand to have one built). Its funnier the more you know about her, she met her 3rd husband at work, when they were both married to other people, he got divorced because he cheated on his first wife, she got divorced for what reason I do not know, then they started dating and she pushed him to marry her. She always picked on me because I am somewhat frugal, I use coupons, drive an economy car, buy my kid's clothes on sale or clearance, and cooked dinner almost every night for myself and my kids because it costs so much to eat at a resturant. Now she is the one worried about money. and its pretty obvious that she is not nearly as happy as she pretends to be and most of our coworkers avoid her because she redirects her bad feelings about her life into picking on everybody else and backstabbing anyone every time she gets a chance. So sometimes perfect is just pretend.
