I thought that we were both doing this for US...yeah, I was a fool..

You may have been the fool, but I am sure it has put you that much farther ahead. I am jealous of you that it has taken me my divorce to do these things and am so far behind now.

I met my ex wife when I was 31 so I had many years of taking care of myself... though rarely cooking. I'm actually good at it but was always too busy and rarely felt the need to cook for myself. My fridge has now gone back to bachelor status. Condiments, beer, milk, maybe some sandwich fixings and leftovers lol.

I missed my partner, my confidant, the person who I talked to all the time, my lover, what was and could have been.

The reality is now that I'm past the hard part and moved on I know I'm better off without her. Nary a friend or family member though she was right for me and that she was quite difficult.

But I do still miss having that someone and imagine and hope one day the right one will come along.. if not I'll be fine. But think I'm still missing something.

Its funny you should say this. My grandfather before he died told me this about my stbx. I didn't listen. This coming from a man married up until the day he passed.


I am fine on my own. I was in the Military and fending for myself was nothing new. I did most of the laundry,cleaning,getting the kids ready when we lived together. She did most of the cooking(she was just better at it) and made more money than I did. I didn't mind doing these things. I almost felt guilty because I didn't make as much as her,I had to make up for it some other way. Now, she is forced to do all of the chores herself. Payback is a bit*h
