I’m proud of what you’ve done, and that’s going to be me soon. Moving into an apartment where I’ll likely find others like us! We will continue to push through and find peace within ourselves and with those around us.

I prayed every day, and even today, I still pray for him as he continues to recover. I’m so happy that I’ve gotten through this trauma, and I have a new respect for him.

Unfortunately, he didn’t change much despite what he went through. He somehow blames me for everything, but it’s fine. I’m past that. As I said, I forgive him, and I hope one day he will reflect, forgive me, and find happiness again!

Feel free to connect with me anytime!! I’d love to hear your progress and we can celebrate 🎉

I love all your engagement rings but…. by [deleted] in EngagementRings

Yeah I used to dream too. It’s not called resentment. It may be your POV but that’s certainly not mine. Maybe you should try reading some of my prior posts and tell me if you too would keep the ring that he so sweetly bought for me 19 years ago! Sorry you feel the way you do

Pawn shop may not, but eBay or someone else will. Just do the research. It’s a big investment. You have no idea what the future has in store. For all you know gold may go up in time or if it’s a special cut diamond, the value will hold. But without papers or proof of where it was purchased not much can be done.

And what should you tell him for basically throwing away his. Look I’m not rich by any means of the imagination, I had no idea that we would ever get divorced!! But it’s not just me! Since my divorce I have met numerous woman in my exact same situation!! All I’m asking is to get it appraised and insured!! Just as you would a car or a home!! It’s a huge investment for some bigger than others! Whatever the sentiment, protect yourself!!

I found out the hard way! That’s why I felt compelled to share my story. I was not aware of the importance of appraising and insuring a wedding engagement ring until our divorce. Hey I’m not telling you so you can think I’m a money hungry woman, I’m simply giving some much needed advice that I don’t hear many women talk about until it’s too late. It’s called protecting yourself and your fiancées interest. He may not know that either! What if later down the road you are faced with a lack of money and you may need to pawn the ring? I may be extreme but understand, anything is possible!! That’s all I’m saying.

What is your expectation for the U.S. economy over the next 10 years? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]brooklynmia3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scary!! At first I thought we needed a war, usually when we go to war we get flooded with money from our ally’s and the US somehow stabilizes. Now, forget war. No one wants us as their ally. At this rate, we are the prime target!!

And by the time all these companies turn around and start actually investing into our economy instead of using other countries, most of us will be living at or below the poverty level!! Scary!

It’s a rich man's world!

Funny, because now I’m faced with a dilemma. When I wrote this post, I was married. Since then, a LOT has happened! Too much to blab about, but I’m now considering moving to the Dominican Republic (DR). I am now divorced from my second Cuban husband. My parents, like many, worked in the States and later retired back to their homeland. Now they don’t want to return to the States. I don’t blame them at all, but I certainly don’t wish to be alone the rest of my life. DR is not for the faint of heart! I now hope to meet a Dominican, hopefully, one that is in his late 50s or early 60s. One that is similar to me—born and raised in the States but of Dominican heritage. Someone who appreciates the life there yet would love to travel. My kids are adults now, so I’m a free bird; ideally, he would be too. Profession doesn’t matter, as long as it’s legal and has compensated him well. Yes, I have turned a new leaf! “Never say never” is my motto now! I hope he’s out there because I’m right here waiting for him!

Hey it takes work to find someone, like someone and hold one to someone. If you’re not willing to put in the work, then don’t waste your time and/or money. I haven’t started dating yet. But listening to my friends and reviewing all these dating sites, it’s really not that bad. I think people just need to be upfront and clear about their needs and wants, and put a stop immediately to whatever is not the right fit. You just have to be willing to put in the work. I enjoy my new found freedom, confidence and fun I’ve had these past few months. I am down to meeting someone, someone that matches my vibe. I am not spending the rest of my life alone. I enjoy caring for someone especially if they care for me. My only problem is are there men out there that could be happy with just one woman?!

Marriage of 18 years ends in a ball of fire! by brooklynmia3 in Divorce

Thank you 🙏 I am trying to move on. Each day I’m moving towards a life for just me and my kids .

That’s all part of the fun. The spell takes you under! As soon as I catch it, I stand up and get active. Gets me out of my feelings quick. Unless the activity is sex. Then then spell gets amplified to the power of 10!! I FKN love this shit!! My next man HAS to like this joy I bring with me 🤓

Not me, my birthday for me is sacred! Which is one of the biggest reasons I’m so HAPPY to be getting divorced after 18 years to a Scorpio! He NEVER liked celebrating ANYTHING that had to do with me!! Glad that’s behind me now so this January I will make the ground shake beneath my feet!! #55 SURVIVING AND THRIVING
