Greetings all my pixies friends,

You've all heard me complaining (prolly for what seems like years) about my marriage and all the twists and turns it took, but today my divorce became finalized.

Thanks for all your support and wisdom that you have shared with me thru this journey.

I am sad because like many, I didn't get married to divorce, but after being separated for 2 years now, it is a relief to finally have this end.

(((((nutworld))))) This is not the end of a story merely the beginning of a new chapter. Wishing peace and love for you!

((((Nutworld))))... it is indeed sad that your marriage came to a point where the best solution was divorce.

I am glad that you can begin living your new life however. Here's to a great new start!

Subdued congrats, nutworld. I know you've had a tough time & I hope you can move on as soon as you're ready. (((((((((((nutworld)))))))))))

Thanks gang!!!!!!!

I can't say how nice it is to still know I have support when I need it.

Sad day indeed, but also an even greater relief.

A new chapter will start soon.

You've climbed over the wall.

Now graze carefully.

A friend of mine married the same girl three times, different face and name, but the same girl.

Just because some-one seems to be a chance to "do it right this time" doesn't automatically

make them right, but don't let that stop you from having fun along the way.

OF,
You sure that wall ain't crawled over ME ??

A few minutes ago, the reaization totally hit.... I'm a FREE man again.

YIKES!!!

And immediatly after those two thoughts came flooding forward came this one

NOW WHAT!!???!!!!!!???!!?????

Yes I'll be more involved with my son again, and can "date"...

BUT................................... (mean ole Mr 4-0) is staring me down and winning.

NO I don't want her back (or specifically her kids problems)

BUT..... I don't want to be single for life either. (Sorry for entering PANIC mode this early)

If you sweat it,you'll end up jumping in the same frying pan again.

If it takes a couple of years to find "miss right enough", so be it.

There are tens of thousands of gunshy girls who have clawed their way out of abusive

and hostile relationships, afraid of the same frying pan.

You need to trick them by being yourself, treating them with humour and dignity.

This way they find out if they really like you, or are just clutching to you to hold back the darkness.

Above all, relax and have some fun. If an opportunity turns up for meaningless, consentual safe sex, take it.

I just re-read this and it sounds so pompous. Sorry, but I stand by the words.

I need a calm voice of reason as I confront this new "chapter" as Lil so kindly put it.

LOL...OF you are ANYTHING but pompous

Any time.

It didn't sound pompous to me, OF.

When I've had my heart broken, I may have had flings but I wasn't looking to jump in the frying pan again. Besides, it's when you're not looking that you find something.

Nutworld ... sending hugs and positive thoughts your way .... it's a difficult time, but soon it will be behind you and you will begin the newest adventure in your life ... may it be filled with fun and pleasant surprises and eventually lead to all that you hope it can be.

Well here's hoping I NEVER look for anything again!!

Isn't there some sort of opposites thread in here somewhere??
