After Karona mentioned football on another thread, it kinda hit me. For the first time in 10 years, I'm not the wife of a high school football coach.
I'll still go to some games and help volunteer at DD's high school, but it's not the same. It's not like I can avoid football here in Texas. I already miss the excitement and drama of everything that goes into the preparation for the games. I look forward to making a new life, but this is a reminder of how much of my life WH took away.
Since DD will still go to the school where WH taught last year, it will also be interesting to see how people react to me now that WH is gone. I feel a wide varity of emotions: sentimental over the past, fear of the unknown, and excitement over new possibilities.

I can sympathise with that sentiment. Hard to go to places that we used to go together. For me it's not football, but camping for example.
How about the old saying "the best cure is hair of the dog that bit you."
My friends used to say this about curing a hang-over, in which case I don't believe the saying is true.
But I think, with other activities it probably is. Getting involved again takes the sting out of it, after a while, and attaches new memories.
time to change the crazy one-sided no-fault divorce laws - ideas/opinions welcome
