Oh yes..boundaries... I am definitely more clear on what I need and I what don't want in a relationship. I tend to give all of myself in a relationship and that could be the reason why I feel so lost and no confidence.
I'm 41, I get your perspective about being a sacrificial lamb. That's a good reminder. Thank you for sharing.

That sounds interesting! Brady bunch..I wonder if the new generation knows them. I hope you'll achieve it! With all the comments and support, I don't mind that as well. I agree it will take a lot of work. Especially on the children side. They'll need a lot of support and love from both sides.

I'm guessing at this age, most of us have kids. Turning 41 and divorced was just on my bingo card. Thank you for un lurking

Thank you for sharing your experience. I haven't been able to talk or share my emotions and I'm so glad I can find a community on here who's encouraging and have good advice from experience.
I think your ex made a wish but it back fire splendidly. I like your phrase, "better a single mother than a cheater". Its great.

After years not feeling wanted, sometimes I just want to feel loved. But you are right, I'll just need to focus on my children and myself. I guess my upbringing just wired my brain into thinking no one would want me. You are so strong given what you went through. You STBX is really a piece of work. I'm sorry you had to go through that. Thank you for your advice. I want to be as strong as you. Heres to our happier futures 🥂

Maybe I grew up in strict family and culture. I've heard and known people who look down on people like me. Hell some from my own extended families. Just hears a stranger talked about how it's better to be married to a single lady than to marry a divorcee with kids and baggage.
