Just a brief update and to encourage others....after remaining single for ~11 months (and it wasn't too bad...I did lots of activities such as bush walking, rock climbing etc which I had never done before!....and importantly, came to grips with the aftermath of my divorce), I met a great woman, and we have been seeing each other for nearly 9 months now. We have done some travelling together and will be doing more next year; the best thing is that my kids adore her and vice versa!
I know it is still early days, but the sun is shining again, and I post this update to bring hope and encouragment to others....if you read my first few posts, you can see my state of mind 18 months ago! Another quick update....first time on this site since my last post over 6 months ago. Things are going v. well with the girl friend. Been going out with her for 14 months now; no major arguments to date!! Life is good again....still taking things slowly but I find it hard to believe my state of mind when I first posted over 2 years ago. Stay positive and be encouraged...the pain and loneliness from a divorce can resolve with time...

L4N,
I really appreciate your posts! They were a source of hope and encouragement for me!
Although I am awaiting my D to become final, my heart is truly heavy right now as me and my STBX are still in the marital home awaiting the final dissolution.
God Bless you dude!

Life has been great again the last 4 years...we have travelled the world together, gone through life's usual ups and downs, and incredibly over the years, have not had any significant arguments. Starting to think about the "M" word again....stay positive everyone!
