I had to tell some forgot others. What was painful was he thought we could be best friends after saying I don't want a sick old ugly wife. All his golfing friends were on wife #2 and #3 all younger. <br /><br />As you said It is very tiring. What he is thinking who knows. After a while you just have to live. After the year it does get better. <br />I was 62 when he left it was hard. I had two children in University and then another by the time I signed the divorce papers. Finding the money was hard. I sold my home that I loved, said goodby to my friends that I loved and left the town I wanted to live in. I left with the children, my dogs a Japanese Kitchen God and my car move to Tucson and got on with my life.<br />The first year is the hardest. <br /><br />cheers, parsnip and badgerangryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-76655347350150924542018-08-18T04:36:16.930+00:002018-08-18T04:36:16.930+00:00Ones emotional roller coaster is exhausting as wel...Ones emotional roller coaster is exhausting as well as painful.

When ...Every marriage ends for a different reason.<br /><br />When my first marriage ended, it was exactly as you describe. The tears, the sense of loss friends, family, just a life I thought we had both enjoyed.<br /><br />But when it's all done and dusted, most people really didn't care that much. The first few weeks are the worst, with people finding out and suddenly "friends" wanting to chat for gory details.<br /><br />The rest of the people in my life soon lost interest. The hardest part of it all is relearning to put yourself first. Your needs, your interests, your circle.<br /><br />You're already there, you are just aching and mourning the loss of what you thought was your future.<br /><br />Make a new future, one that revolves around you.50 and countinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12051116860123693646noreply@blogger.com
