Thanks guys the reconnecting has helped even just getting back on TB I've seen some good stuff I've missed. Thanka for your advice espeicaly Eric I feel like I failed at this becauae of the end result and I think that's my biggest hang up right now.
Thats totally a natural feeling when going through a divorce, I would think. I felt the same way going through mine, especially because of my views on marriage. However, I came to realize that a marriage requires work from both parties, and can't sustain under the efforts of only one person, no matter how hard that person tries.
For two years you werent being you? Dude, lame. Anyone that makes you change who you are is bad news.
I'm not saying a girl who makes you stop going out on wild turkey binges every weekend is a succubus, but if you are totally pulled away from your regular activities and friends so much that you have to go "reconnect" with them, that is not a healthy relationship. congrats on being out.
Ive been through it as well. Its surprising what a person will endure when they think that love is all they need. After almost 2 years with m ex I found I wasnt truly living the way I would be, not talking to people I would be, and that I didnt like the person I was becoming. Thats when I knew it had to end.
