Upwards Update - Life is good!

[Upwards]

I haven't posted on here now for a couple of months so thought I'd update you all

My divorce is progressing & the decree nisi should arrive any day now - I'm happy & confident that divorce is the right decision for us all and although its a very sad situation both myself and exH are much happier now we are separated.

I have grown so much through this process, I've learnt things about myself that I never knew & I've uncovered a strength that I didn't know existed. My life is much more stable & fulfilled, I feel happier than I've felt in many many years and looking back it amazes me how I managed to remain in such an unhappy & toxic relationship for so long. I've found myself again & that is a priceless gift, I'll always be thankful for this experience and I now know that I always have work to do on myself to grow, improve and be the best me that I can.

I'm dating a guy, it isn't serious and we are both agreed that we are happy with that for the moment but it's going well & I'm enjoying his company I have a lot more work to do on myself before I move into a serious R with anyone, I don't want to make the same mistakes again!

My children are much more settled & have adjusted well to the situation now, it's been almost 12mths since H moved out, I'm very proud of them both.

Life is good how are you all?

Hi Uptown, thanks for posting an "Update".

I'm glad to hear you are content with your decisions and present life path. I do hope things continue to improve for you and your family.

As for me, my wife seems to be making slow progress, and I still have high hopes for "Us". If for some reason things don't work out between us, I plan to be on my own for quite a while... as in there will be no dating.

I've learned I don't 'need' a partner, and can be quite content on my own. Besides, there'll plenty of time to worry about dating, I'm ForeverYoung!

Thanks MLP

FY great to hear your W is making slow progress, that's what we like to hear! Your so patient, I admire that in you.

As for dating I hadn't planned to for a good while, I joined a dating site out of curiosity and decided it wasn't for me but new guy caught my eye... He asked me out & I refused but we kept chatting, here we are now dating not what I expected but I believe everything happens for a reason..
