Moving on.... MelanieW: Well I am now officially on my own! Wooohooo! I moved into my new apartment yesterday! It may not be the fanciest apartment in the world, but it is mine and I LOVE it! I slept 14 hours last if that tells you anything!
I never knew how exciting all of this could be. Or that getting a divorce could bring about so many positives changes in my life! I have met a guy who I have started dating. He isn't the typical type of guy I would date, but he is sweet and caring. I have told him straight out I am not looking for anything too serious right now. There will be no moving in together, no marriage talk. But, I am open to just see what happens!
I posted this here, because I wanted to let the new people comming here know that though this situation seems like the worst thing you will ever go through, it DOES get better. I know that the pain is so terrible that you can't get away from it, but that does lessen in time. If you go back and read any of my posts from when I first got here, I was a complete wreck, thinking my life was totally over. I have found a strength inside myself that I didn't know existed. I have learned that I love my independence. All I ever knew was being a wife, and that is what defined me. Not anymore! So hang in there! There is a light at the end of the tunnel, you just have to keep moving towards it!
Re: Moving on.... Percy123: Glad for you and that that chapter is mostly closed up. I remember the last dramatic days and I felt bad for you.
New hope, unwritten future.....good stuff.
I hope all your trails run down hill.
Re: Moving on.... wizer_now: Melanie,
It is a very uplifting post and thanks for writing it.
Yes, after moving to a 1 BR apt over my office from my beautiful house on a wooded acre in an upscale neighborhood, it's easy to see the negative in my situation. But the positives do outweigh the negatives..my own place, none of the walking on eggshells, none of the depression and anxiety that comes from the constant reminders of the failed marriage...and the best of all, as you said, the possibilities of a new beginning with someone new, someone who you can really connect with.
Re: Moving on.... lifeunexpected: Congratulations Melanie! You must be very proud of yourself for getting through the hardest time of your life. Now you are being rewarded! Enjoy it! :)
Re: Moving on.... stronger: Congrats on a new start and very positive attitude, Melanie! It's great to see people pull through the rough times and certainly gives hope to what lies ahead for many people.
