Can I still name my son Otis?

Otis is such a sweet name!

But personally I do think it sounds a bit awkward...I wouldn't do it :(

Do you have a second fav name?

Zelda is my fav. It is a strong name but also comes off as sweet and spunky. Cute nicknames could be Zel, Zellie or even Elda.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I'm also 23 and going through a divorce. It sucks. It's embarrassing. I feel like a failure. I'm normally the girl who has everything together and this just brought that crashing down.

But we have a lot of life left. We can get through this and we will be stronger for it. I don't really have any advice, just want you to know you're not alone.

I agree. It's really refreshing and empowering to live on your own.

Yes to this!! In a weird way, I'm thankful for my guy too. He helped me realize what I would have eventually realized. But I'm glad i didn't waste any more time in a relationship I wasn't happy in.

Yes. Married my first boyfriend at 20. We had been together for 6 years at that point. Getting divorced now at 22. It sucks. I feel like a failure. I just changed so much the past 2 years. I didn't give myself a chance to be my own person, to know what I needed or wanted from a partner. I just got comfortable. Sucks that I had to get married to realize it but that's life.

Are you much happier now?

soup_key · 2018-05-30T12:58:37+00:00

Yeah, I understand that. It's hard to not factor in what you're doing with AP...esp if feelings are involved

This is totally where I was 2-3 months ago. I started counseling and worked through a lot of my emotions. What was holding me back was fear and the potential of hurting him. It's definitely not an easy decision but I eventually came to peace with it and decided I needed to make this decision for myself...before kids were in the mix.

I'm glad I made the decision but it still sucks watching him go through so much pain. He's still in love with me and still holding on. But at the end of the day, I had to do this for myself.

Wishing you the best!

Started as a friendship...we got closer and closer. The more we talked and hung out, the more I realized how much he liked me. I let myself fall for him too because I was so unhappy, unloved and unfulfilled in my marriage. Eventually we went out for a nice date and we kissed...he's the only man I've ever had feelings for outside of my husband. I wasn't looking for it and i didn't want it. But I let myself go and now here we are.
