Divorce

[BEG]

Last night was my first session of DivoreCare. Due to my accident I actually missed the first week.
There are 5 of us in class. 2 men and 2 women and the instructor.

Last night we review the grieving process of divorce.
Grieving lost hopes and dreams. 
I had really never thought of divorce like they explained it. Two become one when you marry, but when you divorce you don't become 2 again. You are a ripped up half. You lose part of yourself and have to work at regaining that part again. Quite insightful.

Very insightful! I had never thought of it that way either. I have been married (to the same woman) since 1973. I can't imagine losing that much of myself.

I guess I was lucky in my first divorce. I gained a whole new "me" I never knew existed, and never would have known, had I stayed in that marriage. (Note: I married my high school boyfriend when I was 20)

Accident?

Went through the divorce thing, too. Who hasn't? But, like everybody else, (all together now) "I never thought it would happen to me."

Time is the best healer.

You said it follows!!!    I still think it would have been easier to get through if the men would have died from some accident or something.   Not that I wish him dead, I still freaking love the guy (or love who I thought I was married too), but there would have been closure.   I still haven't gotten it and don't think I ever will.

I haven't been through a divorce,but it doesn't take one to know how it feels.  Some people have divorce parties,some people follow their soon to be ex all over town. Very disturbing process no doubt.  Hang in there BEG.

Some have an ex that still harbors anger for her own dumb mistakes (after 8 years) & tries to make her ex's life miserable.

Closure is the key -- and being healthy (mentally, physically, spiritually).

Good to hear that you got to attend BEG! We had one join us new last week also. She was relunctant at first, but by the time it was over for the night, she was already talking about how she looked forward to coming next week. It is a great program and has some wonderful insights that can be very enlightening. I hope you get to take it all the way through. I highly doubt you will be disappointed! Have a great evening my friend! Tell little BEG to give you a big hug for the LRHG and me!

Marriage is an antiquated institution. If you love someone and you are meant to be together you won't need a peice of paper to say so.

Not at all. Marriage is completely for the woman's peice of....mind.

Who are you kidding, Pope...actually, most women look forward to that shiny thing on their ring finger.

You missed my joke Sunny.
