I needed to hear all of that~~ it just has days where I get so done on the divorce and even myself! I did start going back to church and it does help I hope time does bring me peace about all of this.

Thank you so much. I need the encouragement right now. The x is being a pain so right now I just want someone to hold me. I've been dating this one guy, so he would be more than willing to just hold me and I know he won't push for sex, but there's no spark. Then there's the young one and although there are fireworks with him, I don't want to waste any more time with him. I meet men in libraries, at Barnes & NOble, at networking events for my industry, at wine tastings and at lectures for my old alma matter (Hopkins). These seem to be pretty good venues. The men aren't low class, most of them are quite wealthy and successful. I've learned that this has nothing to do with whether or not they're compatible, as poor men aren't any different. I usually just date and have fun, but the last few weeks I've realized it's been a year and a half and no real prospects in sight, except for the guy last summer who wanted to get married. It was too soon for me. So I am lonely and he has someone.

Thank you for your nice words of encouragement on my wall. It is nice to have the support here and to know that I'm not alone in all this. It's only been three months since I discovered his affair, so you are so right when you said "this too shall pass"!
