This week marks the two year start of my ex-wife's affair. She/they apparently fell in to the soulmate category. I gave in to a divorce 2 months ago. I fully believe in MB, despite the ultimate result for me. My ex will probably be remarried by today (on a Las Vegas trip). That has put me in a reflective mood. Still struggle with the issues associated with divorce but doing well. Better than I would've thought! And when I least expected it - I met a wonderful woman. There is hope for me.

Yeah, my XW's relationship falls into the soul mate category as well....they're going to Las Vegas too! Sounds romantic, don't ya think?

Be careful with a new wonderful woman, I went down that road (regretably), but it sounds like you're ready. Keep an open mind, and take care of yourself first and foremost.

Do you think that Las Vegas is where they all go to get married? No wonder it's called sin city. My Ex and OW got married there this past weekend.

I too have found that it gets easier to handle and accept over time.

Glad you found someone wonderful. Thats always nice to hear. And she's lucky that she found you!

Hope things continue to go well with you. K

It's interesting that all these wayward spouses are going to Las Vegas to get married. Or should I say they are "slinking" away to get married. A quickie marriage with no friends or family around. It's as if they are ashamed and trying to hide the fact that they are getting married; almost like the affair itself. They tried to hide the affair and now they are trying to hide the marriage ceremony. I, too, would not be surprised if my stbx "slinks" off to Vegas (one of his favorite places).

At some point did you believe that you would never find another person. I am around five months in since I found out about everything and just getting ready to file for divorce. Everything feels so crappy and hopeless at present. I need to find things to keep myself occupied to get through this as most days I feel I'm going crazy.
