Thanks, man. All solid points. Blessed in that the marriage was so short. I’m sure it would have been much harder, which is hard to imagine as this was a beast to get through.
Definitely will keep my guard up and actively look for major red flags. To be honest, she and her father tricked my entire family. They were just as blindsided as me. You’re right. I have plenty of time to find my soul mate, even though I thought it was her. Have no rush to jump into the dating scene. Just want to hang out with friends, meet new people and just enjoy life through my new lense.
FF, sounds like you are doing awesome and that is great to hear! Good luck and do keep posting, it's cathartic even if you're just posting to help others like I am.
