An old girlfriend of mine told me yesterday that she was separating from her husband. Which came as a complete shock to me - since by all appearances it appeared that they had that fairytale romance.

It occurred to me that over the past year many of my friends had gone through "divorce flu". When I divorced my ex three years ago, I was the...

Wow....

Ok, I dont think there is a domino effect, it just happens when it happens, just like when you fall in love...

I was in a similar situation as you. My ex was 13 years older than me, and at first it was all good...but I was really young...19 and naive...I thought the world rvolved around him, and at first I refused to see him as he really was...now granted, we had some good times, I will never regret those times, but that doesnt make the fact that he was emotionally abusive to me, and I didnt want to admit it, until toward the end when I relized that it was never going to get any better.....

I did fall in love with someone online, in fact I met him on SG, we were friends for a year, and things were growing betweeen us, and we didnt realize it at first until we met face to face, then it became perfectly clear.....ook, so I didnt get any complete me time away from all men, but I dont regret it...I left my husband for my boyfriend, we have been together for 6 months, and I have never been happier in my entire life!!


Now, you are ALWAYS...to some extent, going to have feelings of some sort for your ex, we all do...over time they change, but you always care, you spent so much time with that person, and trust me, I did, and still do at times, do the same thing...the what-if's "did I not try hard enough" "was it ever worth saving" its a natural response, so dont beat yourslef up over it...know its all ok, and this was the path you were meant to travel.

Well, I'm back from Long Island. And I"m in shock. It's a different world back east. I couldn't believe how dirty and dingy NYC is.

So now I'm back here alone - while I work out the logistics of the BIG MOVE.

All I can say is that this move better be worth it!

My boss was not pleased. In the short time I've been...

Yeah, I know a lot will be involved with the 3some thing, but we are taking it easy....

You arent the only one who has to do the DMV thing...I am already almost 2 weeks past due, plus I have to get my car smogged too...a helpful hint...go to the DMV in Los Gatos...you get in and out quicker, and its much nicer too.

...and no, I am not consulting a Dr. on the Paxil thing...I have no insurance anymore, and I am doing it carefully on my onw, I have done some research.

Hey, since your back in town, wanna meet up sometime for coffee?

Well, I have some good news and some bad news. And, it all came as a huge surprise. My husband, sly fellow, didn't spring it on me until I picked him up at the airport last night. Apparently, that seminar that he went to last week was actually a job interview - and he was offered the job.

At the Long Island Development Center. Yeah,...

I think that now I have someone to work out with, the gym thing will be easier for me..I just hated going by myself, and I had no motivation...ok, well...I did want to lose weight, but the problem was, my ex-husband. He always made me feel shitty for bieng "fat"...right before we got together, I was tiny...115 lbs. (I dont even remember what thats like)..after we got together, I guesws I felt "secure" so I got comfy, and some wieght came on, not a ton, but a bit, nothig top worry too much about...but as the years dragged on, and I became less active, and was on medication that has had wieght gain as a side effect, I slapped on another 50...of course, my ex, bieng the ass that he is...always found a way top make me feel like shit...and at the time, I was trying to "find" myself, trying to boost my self-esteem, but he found a way to tear me down...it got to the point where I figured, well...he is supposed to love me no matter what and if he cant, then why bother...so no excersize, couch potato, internet all day long...eating way way way too much...it was horrible.

Now that I am with someone who truly loves me for me...I feel happier, and motivated...not just to lose some weight, but to get healthy...I have someone who is an active person, and I want to be able to keep up with him, and his 3 year old too!....The thing is, he has told me that even if I didnt lose any more wieght, he wouldnt care, he just wants me healthy and happy...and that he loves my body the way it is...thats been one hell of a road to get over when you have low self-esteem, but he has enabled me to finally fall in love wih my body the way that it is...he even told me that he loves my belly, and will be kind of sad to see it go...those things right there make me feel wonderful!....I do want to drop a bit more weight, but not a ton...I love my curves, and dont want to lose those...bieng healthy to me is more important, and I feel that the weight will come off as needed...I am not going to rush it, because I do want to be able to manage it well.

A long road, no doubt, but one I am ready for! biggrin

Trying to come up with some ideas for Halloween. I hate it that it's not on a weekend this year. Being in a new area - means that we will have to do some research on what's going on here....

I can hardly wait! I love Halloween.

I'm new to Silicon Valley. My husband and I moved here from Seattle - which is too far to see my friends and family on a daily basis. I have to admit that I am homesick. I miss the daily interaction with my "girls". My husband has been working long hours in his new position. My hours are pretty much 8 to 5 so I've...

I'm hating my new job. My new boss is one of the good old boys - you get the drift. It would be nice if he could actually look at my face once in a while.
