Best of all luck, Rogerson. It is NOT the end of the world.

Best of luck in the transition. I can tell you from experience you are better off single than married to the wrong person. When I was much younger I was married for a very short time and fathered a daughter as a result of a honeymoon conception. Was never involved in my daughter's upbringing other than financially, though I met her quite regularly until about four years ago. After a spell single I married Ann.

I am on the second go round. First fiasco lasted ten years. My wife and I will have been married 23 yrs on June 1st. The second tiem is the charm. But don't push it. If you have kids, join Parents Without Partners. It's a good way to back in the pool.

It was awesome to meet you in person! You are an engaging person with a very individual personality, im sure you wont have to worry about being single too long. Hang in there, and if you ever want to get something off your chest feel free to shoot me a PM.

You know what? My "second bachelorhood" between my two marriages was a GREAT time in my life. I hope yours will be, too.

I did re-marry, eventually. I spent six years searching for a woman who did not remind me of my first wife in any way, then another three years checking her out to make sure. Then, I strapped on a kilt and married the lass. So far, so good!

Been there, done that. I agree with Bob C that the second bachelorhood was a great time in my life and I'm sure it will be for you as well. Yeah, it sucks right now. Just remeber that the Good Book says, "It came to pass" and not "It came to stay." You'll get through this. Id' like to pass on to you something one of brothers told me when I was going thru my divorce that made me chuckle, hopefully it will make you chuckle as well. "Do you know why divorce is so expensive...because it's worth it."

Keep your chin up. Take each day as it comes and try not to get bitter.

You know you have friends to vent to here.

Sorry to hear about the divorce. I hope in time you find a new and better course for your life.

I work for a life and singles coach who offers free articles for newly single people. I'll send you the link to the articles via private message. Hope it helps.

Sorry to hear of this.
I'm sure you're probably tired of hearing "things will be better"... but truth is: they will!
Better to be single, with new frontiers, than married in misery.
(been there, done that)

To add to Tim C's chuckle: When my ex-wife would call & bug me, I would often reply with:"I spent perfectly good money divorcing you... now let me get what I paid for!"
