I've been divorced for 1-1/2 years now with two kids 16 and 14. I'm still so much in love with this man. The kids are now primarilly with their dad and with me a portion of the time. That was a huge decision and transition for me. I moved 45 minutes away closer to my job. I have been a mom at home all these years and loved every minute of it. I'm now working full time and am so depressed. I would love to have our lives back hoping that my ex-husband got all of his mid-life crises out of his system. He was unfaithfull during our marriage. He's moved on with several woman. I have not even dated and have no desire to. I still feel deep down inside that he still loves me. I could be so wrong too. How can I just get on with my life and look forward and start enjoying who I am and enjoying life and meeting people. My kids love being with Dad because he has the $ to do extra things with them as I can not afford anymore. They are still doing things with Dad as we did as a family

Going through it myself, I empathize. No joke. The best advice I can give is the advice that everyone has been giving me: patience. The problem I see for myself is just getting somekind of value that I'm still desirable. Heck. Face it. Divorces are the rudest reset in the middle of your life. I've got two kids, also. They are constant reminders of her. So, here's the last piece of advice I can give, think about yourself. Moving on requires taking the first step. Then the next step. Then the next.
G'luck to you.
