Hi all,<p>
Well some of you might know me but sadly there are so many new names here that I don't recognize. You can see my history below so I won't go into too much detail about my divorce. Today my divorce is final. And contrary to what alot of you are feeling right now I am happy about it even though just a few months ago I couldn't imagine living without my wife. I've been where many of you are right now. I know the pain, sleeplessness, desparation, oh yeah did I mention the pain. I'm so sorry any of us have to be here and that this site even has to exist but its a reality. I don't know really why I am writing this post but it has been a REALLY long time since I was here. For me, I guess, its closure, and to let you know that you can make it through this horrible time. To those of you that know me, I'm doing wonderful now. I've moved to Dallas working with a new firm and really enjoying life again. To all of those who helped me, words will never express the gratitude that I feel. For all of you who might be new here, VENT your heart out here. The people here literally at one point saved my life. I know many of you are at the absolute lowest point you have ever been in you life. For better or worse please know that it does get better one way or another. Come here and post even if you are rambling and just letting it flow out. <p>I tried the different methods here to save my marriage. Unfortunetly, I wasn't given a choice or any amount of time to put them in use. Just because I didn't succeed using these plans I know of others that have. If for some reason the methods don't work I just wanted to let you know that the other side isn't that bad. Sure its not as good as a perfect happy marriage but who here knows of one? Joking aside, if the d word is inevitable, don't feel like its the absolute end of the world. Its not. I made it through and because of it I'm stronger, wiser, and have more faith than ever. <p>Again, to all my friends here. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. To all that I don't know. Stay strong. Stay dedicated and keep the faith.<p>Brandon

Goodguy, Since I'm getting closer and closer to accepting that divorce is a reality in my situation, I'm glad to hear your positive experience of getting through this mess. <p>We all try the best we can, but some of us still end up here. <p>Thanks.

GG,<p>Thinking back to all those post, the desperation in your post, the sadness and lonliness, and then talking to you now, I would never ever have known you were the same person if I wouldn't have been there to see it for myself. <p>You truly are a success story, and it does show that people can pick themselves up and be happy even when their world looks like doom and gloom and is full of hopelessness at the time. If they only could see at that time how temporary their state of sadness really is...<p>Take care and let us know when you find that special someone!<p>ANNA
