Not many of you will remember me and I haven't posted here in a long time, mostly lurking less and less. I got bored though and came back to see how and if some of my old friends were around and post an update for everyone else.
I got married last September to a divorcee with a 2 year old daughter and deadbeat xH. Beyond many other things we had in common and enjoy, both of our x-spouses were involved in A that led to the DV. Update on them: My XW, upon separation in 2003, went through a number of ONS and quick relationships before becoming Mrs. 4th Wife to a man 20 years older than her. My wife's xH is still prowling the married woman circuit and ONS scene. I haven't talked to my xW in 2 years now and hardly think about her unless pressed or trying to remember something. My wife's XH called in January to see if he could threaten me into adopting their daughter so he wouldn't have to pay CS. Haven't heard from him since.
My wife and I married last September and just had a beautiful daughter 2 weeks ago. Her older sister is taking to her well and things are going so wonderfully. Occassionally, I find myself counting my blessings and thanking God for the strength of will to see things through. Where DV was the right thing for me, I can't imagine being happier than I am now. Since I started dating after my DV, and especially after I met my now wife, days pass in a wonderful dream. We pay attention to each other's needs and talk more frequently and meaningfully than I ever did with my X.
I wish you all the best.

Lyxa, Congratulations! Sounds like your life is going great. Happy anniversary in two weeks, BTW! I don't think I ever posted to you, but I do remember your name.
It's always good to hear success stories whether they involve marriage restoration, remarriage, or individual recovery. Thanks for posting yours!

I remember your name too. And though we divorced about the same time, you are farther along with life than I am.
I love hearing success stories here on MB, and truly believe the MB principles will make our future relationships better than we ever imagined.
And with a new wife, and two beautiful daughters, I hope your future just keeps getting better.
It was a marriage that never really started.
