Studying to be a marriage counsellor and yet activley destroyed my marriage... What scum.. Welcome to 2008... A person is not a thing you can steal. And marriage counselling is not all about keeping broken marriages together. It's about helping all the parties find whatever solution works best for them. Sometimes that's fixing the marriage, sometimes it's dissolving it.
Ronni_W Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 I have a feeling 2008 is goin to be a very crappy year for me. Is it within your philosophy to believe that you have some choice about that? Because I'd like to wish you something better than "crappy" for the next 12 months but...that would be rather futile, would it not, if you've already submitted to this particular feeling? So...with the hope that you WANT something different: I wish that 2008 will bring you many delightful surprises and excellent adventures
Confused9 Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 BT, 2008 is about YOU. You need to concentrate on making this year a year about self discovery, and learning how YOU are #1. Our lives are in our hands now...we make them better. We can't rely on someone else to make us happy. We need to do it ourselves. You never know what this year may bring. There are 364 days left to find out! Now it's up to you how you start the year off. Try and do it with some positive thought and a smile!
LakesideDream Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Clearly if yo believe that the new year will be terrible, you will act accordingly. My first year post ex was a "get through it" year. Hope for the best is what made it possible to get through it.
Trialbyfire Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Hey brokenthinker, you can look at it from a negative perspective, or you can look at it as a bright new future, having unloaded the deadwood in your life. If someone cheats, best to shed them and move on, without the weight of their broken issues dragging you down. Cheers and a Happy New Year!

Studying to be a marriage counsellor and yet activley destroyed my marriage... What scum.. Welcome to 2008... Wow you are right.. that is pathetic. But you have to now equate those feelings of anger against your wife as well. Your wife is NOT a prize.. she chose to be with scum making her scum as well. You need to realize that YOU can do better and she is the one that is screwed up. I know, so much easier said than done. I know only a sliver of the darkness it feels to be put through such a situation. Just hang in there please!! You really should try dating again! Do it for yourself please.. don't wait or hold out for a woman who is not worth it.
ladyintights Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 A person is not a thing you can steal. And marriage counselling is not all about keeping broken marriages together. It's about helping all the parties find whatever solution works best for them. Sometimes that's fixing the marriage, sometimes it's dissolving it. You've got to admit that it is really dishonorable though, especially for someone whose goal in life is to HELP marriages mend- because that is the POINT of marriage counselling... I guess he's just another douchebag that doesn't give a damn about his line of work; only cares about the paycheck. I mean, imagine if this was plastered on his forehead.. "Hi, I am your new marriage counsellor here to help you. BTW, my girlfriend and I met while she was married as well.. as you can see I helped her."
JustBreathe Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Hang in there. One day all that anger and jealousy and confusion is going to turn into something wonderful - apathy. Work towards that day because it will come. Your love for her will fade and you will no longer give a darn what she does and who with. You won't care anymore that she's out of your life, in fact you will probably be greatful. Even the strongest love fades away with time. I often hear the best revenge is to live a better life than you did when you were with her. Strive to be happier and more fulfilled without her. I think that must be true.
