I am recently divorced (no kids). The marriage lasted a couple years but our problems stemmed largely from personality differences and a lack of communication. I believed we had become incompatible. W did not want a divorce and was confused why I just gave up. I now realize my LB had become empty. Here is the thing, now I am remembering some our the good times we had together and some of her good qualities. She loved me very much. Our marriage was somewhat like two siblings that don't get along real well together but find security in each other. I miss that security. I feel terrible that I hurt her and I pray for her happiness. Now I am wondering if I could ever possibly meet someone that loves me as much as she did. So my question is....is this a somewhat common thinking process and a phase that is normal to go through? Thanks in advance!

I have had the same feelings that you are experiencing, but we were together 20 years. I feel badly that we couldnt resolve our differences. You are feeling withdrawl of co dependancy. It is normal.

thanks Hiredhelp.....it is encouraging to hear it is normal. I guess as the old saying goes, time will heal the pain.
