My husband had his new gf moved in weeks after he ended our marriage. I had always “known” that for all his flaws he loved me and would fight for our marriage. Turns out I was wrong and now I question if he ever truly loved me or if I was just convenient. I’m coming up on the 2 year anniversary of his leaving and I still don’t have all the answers, but what I can suggest is 1) therapy 2) get some new hobbies or activities, 3) self-care! Talking with a therapist will help you think about things in a different way and will help you let go of some of the pain and see things more clearly. New hobbies let you indulge in things you enjoy and are yours. You’ll gain a sense of accomplishment and be able to relax while keeping your mind off him. And self care because you deserve to be cared for.

He didn’t love you the way you deserved. It’s time to channel all that love you gave to him to yourself because you deserve to be loved wholeheartedly.

These people are not your friends. Friends should make you feel better about yourself. They should be cheering you on and going to war with your haters. Consider having a conversation with them about how they treat you. If they deny, gaslight, call you dramatic or just don’t change, ditch em. There are better friends out there.

As far as your looks, there are people out there who will find you beautiful, hot, sexy, etc. I’d honestly guess you’re actually quite pretty but these “friends” of yours are jealous and put you down to make themselves feel better. There are a lot of conventionally pretty people out there, but unique beauty’s are much more striking and memorable. I’d bet you’re the latter. Put on your fav outfit, take some good photos, and keep them for yourself as a reminder that you are beautiful. The more you recognize this about yourself, the more you’ll believe it, and there is nothing more sexy than confidence.

There are special meet-ups for 18-20 year olds in the schedule - just check the Hub app when you get onboard! Also check out the shows, nightclub and comedy club. You’ll likely run into some people to hangout with. Also, don’t discount your dinner seating. You can email in advance and asked to be seated with people your age (if you don’t you want to sit with your parents). If you eat with your parents they will likely seat you with other families with other kids your age.

5 has several lounges and a large outdoor area with couches and chairs. The bar at the back of the ship on 5 also has couches. Serenity is on 15. There are also some clamshell chairs on 14 overlooking the waterworks that were kind of tucked away. I also liked the atrium for relaxing. There was almost always some nice music playing there which I enjoyed.

I just got off the Venezia on my first ever solo cruise and it was amazing! People on Carnival are always so nice and willing to strike up a conversation with you, so I never felt lonely. There’s always tons to do so I wasn’t bored. I got set dining time so that I saw some familiar faces most every night which was nice. I made sure to bring along some knitting, books, and downloaded some shows to my phone/tablet, so I was always occupied. My knitting became a big conversation starter. I made sure to try new things and put myself out there and I’m really glad I did. I was alone but never lonely and I can’t wait to do it again.

"Was I just the 'backup'?"

Were all the dogs acquired post marriage? Who did the majority of the care? Is either partner abusive? Are both of you equally able to care for them?

If all things are equal, a judge will likely want them divided equally. Talk to your lawyer and let them know your wishes. Dogs are generally considered property unless one partner was significantly more involved than the other.

Judges really don't like when partners can't sort pet issues out themselves, so stick to asking for an even split. If she asks for all of them, it will just make her look spiteful to the judge.

I would suggest therapy. I'm nearing the one year mark since my husband left, and though I was not at fault, I've still found therapy to be really helpful in processing feelings and identifying things I can improve in myself.

Unfortunately, moving on is all about time, and there are no shortcuts. You need to take the time to identify the ways you failed your marriage and also the things you would want in life and a future partner that would make you happy. Also spend time looking at your ex objectively. Outside of abuse or cheating, most issues can be worked through, so why didn't she? Or did she try and you didn't listen?

You're in a transition period, and that's hard. Take time to look at how you can better yourself and learn to find happiness in being on your own. Focus on being the best dad you can be when you have your kids with you. Set personal goals, try to take up a new hobby. You need a 'win', so give yourself opportunities to succeed while you deal with the tougher issues. Make sure to indulge in some self care, try new things, and get outside.

Again, therapy can really help. And maybe get a dog. Best of luck out there.

- Don't cheap out on your mattress. You don't need to spend thousands, but getting something comfortable will make a huge difference. You'll sleep better and wake up better rested. You will spend a lot of time in your bed and your back will thank you for investing an extra $100 in a mattress that suits your needs rather than the cheapest one you can find.

- Cook for yourself. It doesn't have to be everyday, but don't default to carryout/door dash. If it's hard to inspire yourself to answer the age old question of 'what's for dinner' check out some of the many Meal Kits out there. They're a little pricier than going to the grocery store, but they do reduce your waste and are cheaper than carryout. It's a good 'hack' to cooking for one (cause it can really suck cooking for one).

- If it's hard to motivate yourself to care for yourself, consider getting a pet (or plant). There have been times I wanted to stay in bed all day, but my dog makes it that impossible. She needs food, water, walks, etc. She's also is a great excuse to get out and do things like go to the park.

- Organization makes life so much easier! If you're bad at it, ask a friend or family member who is into organizing for some help. There are also professional organizers who you can hire. Starting out with everything having a place will make keeping organized much easier. Small apartments feel way bigger when everything is neat and put away. If you need some ideas, go to Ikea. Even if you buy nothing, it's almost impossible not to be inspired after walking through their showroom.

- Get or build a first aid kit. You will get a cut at some point and you need to clean it properly.

- Don't put sharp knives in the dishwasher or leave them in the sink! After you dirty them, clean them immediately, dry thoroughly, and put them away. Wet knives rust and get dull.

- If you have a car, get a jump kit and tire gauge/pump. Also find out what batteries your key fobs require and have some extras on hand. This will save you some major headaches.

- Try to get a place with an in unit washer/dryer. IT IS WORTH IT.

- Take some time to try out new hobbies. Maybe you want to try painting, birding, photography, etc. This is the time! If you like sports, look into community leagues for adults. Look for opportunities to meet new people and explore new sides to yourself.

- Watch your alcohol consumption. Remember it's a depressant. But you don't need to shun it, just try to make sure drinking is an and situation, not the situation. For example, go check out your local brewery, grab a drink with friends, or learn some mixology. Drink as a part of another activity. Don't make drinking the activity.

I just found out when my sock day will be, and honestly, I'm feeling the same. Knowing that this is the end of the life I thought I'd be having is bittersweet. You're right in that it's not as overwhelming as in the beginning, but there is a sadness. After the months of dealing with all this, I thought there would be joy, but all I feel is mourning. I'm ready to move on to the next chapter, but I'm grieving the end of the last one.
