Hello everyone,
About 18 months ago I was on this board everyday. It was my lifeline to continue on. I've been separated from my wife since March 2002 and the divorce was final in February 2003. I have done well since the divorce, custody, money and property wise. I've learned to live alone. I've had dates but steered away from relationships. I think that I may be taking my current girlfriend to the next level. But I don't have that "crazy about her" feeling. I don't know if it is something I'll ever feel again. Has anyone had that feeling since there divorce?

Absolutely! Ive been remarried for 4mo. and I actually feel closer to my new wife than I ever did with my EX. Not saying I never loved my EX or anything, but my current wife and I are on a different level than my EX and I were. I guess I found my soulmate the second time around.....some do it the way its supposed to be......the first time. I cant get enough of my wife.....I love her soooooo much, I dont know what I would do without her. She is beautiful! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Oh yeah, that's me too. My ex W left me in July 2002, and the divorce was final last March. I am dating and have a gf who is very hot, but I just can't get into it completely. For one thing, she lives far, far away at the moment.
And I still think of my ex every day. I miss her every day. But it is over. We never talk.
Life is so different now--almost like a buffet line where everything is oatmeal. You can eat it, but it is really bland.
I hope that spark comes back--you know, that jois de vivre or some sh*t.

Yes between no spark and the fear of opening up it terifies me to really have a relationship with another woman. I don't think about my x at all. We only talk when absolutely nessesary. Now my current girlfriend is good looking, she is really really into me, lives close, same age, not attached, same interests. Everything fits so well. I am kinda preserving this one because it is a good deal. That is no way to think about a personal relationship but that's all I got right now.
