OK, maybe this is not the right forum to address, but if not perhaps someone can direct me.
I have been a member of MB since early 2000 when I discovered my wife had an affair. Tried to work through it over a period of two years until we eventually got divorced in May 2002 after living apart for 4 Months. (mar-9 w-36 me-37 no kids)
Currently I don't love or hate her anymore but I have difficulty when meeting other women. All of them that I've met so far just doesn't seem to measure up to what I was used to in a woman. I admit I haven't "sampled" more than 5 or 6 dates yet but there are just so much "baggage" and issues around, its unbelievable! I'm an easy going person and I never thought this would be so hard. I'm not really willing to drop my standards but it seems I would have to if I ever want a partner again!! Was I just unbelievably lucky to have had such a wife?? Anybody also find the same perhaps??
Please share your views.

Date more Van.....and pal...
Your wife looks pretty horrible to me....
Was I just unbelievably lucky to have had such a wife??
Wheres the luck in having a cheating no good .....slime ball dirt bag ...who happens to be cute....Hell, I had that..two years ago I was praying that my pretty wife would come back....Thank God for unanswered prayer!!!
I met someone who makes my wife look like she fell from an ugly tree, and hit every branch on the way down. And shes not only a rare beauty visually....shes even more of a beauty personally. Great heart, great looks....I didnt think Id ever find anyone....and then there she was!!! Hang in there pal.
Please share your views.
Just did. Take good care of yourself...you are still mourning the loss of your wife....
It get tremendously better Van....Dont look to hard...Work on yourself...so that when she comes along you have the tools to meet all her needs....and so you can teach her about MB principles that will assure everlasting true love.
You will be fine....It just doesnt happen overnight
take care,
Randy
