OK, so this is it. It's time for me to put painful issues behind me and move on! For those of you who helped with my initial post--THANK YOU!! Boy, have I made some bad choices, but it's time to look forward to a happier future!
I just feel so lousy at times because I know my ex is happily seeing the woman he left me for. He has even introduced her to the kids. But me on the other hand. I'm just getting back on my feet. The divorce has been final for 1 year now and I'm trying to enjoy my independence by trying new things. I've made some great friends through a hiking group and now we're training for a half marathon.
I'm just getting a little impatient with the thought of what my future holds for me. Will I ever meet someone special to spend some of my free time with. I mean it's not like I'm in my twenties and go clubbing. It just seems like there is such a small percentage of available men my age. And where are they??? I feel confident that I'll meet someone when the time is right but I'm beginning to feel the time is right!
???? Confused

Best wishes, martybarker. It sounds as if you've cleared away some cobwebs and fog -- good for you!

I'm sure your future will be bright. I hope you stay in touch!

Take it from someone who's been there, done that-- It sounds trite, but it will happen when it happens. And boy will you know it!

Like a fine wine, it has to be just the right moment for it to be great.

Patience.

One of the most difficult aspects of divorce is to realize that there is no parity of pleasure any more between your life and your Ex's life.

You're moving forward--to hell with him.

Hold your dominion.

I'm 26 and it seems everytime i get my heart broken it's harder to get back on my feet. It happened 3 times, with each of those 3 relationships getting longer and harder to get over. It seems the older I get the harder it is to find nice single women. The pickings are getting slimmer. Kind of scary.

Okay, first of all, unless you're a dog 26 isn't "old".

Second, it sounds like you are meeting people and making new friends. Let's not fall into histrionics.

Third, you indicate that in the past you've made some bad choices. Don't allow your feelings of loneliness and need (not to mention the ticking time clock in your head) to rush you into making another one.

Again, be patient. The right one WILL come along. I'm living proof that it can happen at any age. And, believe me, it's better to find the right one than to settle for any one.

blacksmithn you're right. I absolutely refuse to settle for just anyone. It just feels so good to no longer be down from my divorce. I didn't know I was capable a sinking so low. Now my spirits are back up. I've been enjoying life and trying new things and making new friends. I feel that I have so much to offer and nowhere to go with this energy I've been left with some doubt and uncertainties though. I'm hoping it won't take too long to work through this.

I know exactly what you mean about that feeling of exhiliration you feel after being down for so long! Positive energy draws positive energy, and you sound pretty positive, so I'm guessing you won't have to wait too awful long.

The good news is that, once you find the right one, the world only gets better and the future brighter!
