My husband of 22 years left me to marry his pregnant g/f. I was devastated and never saw it coming--isn't the wife always the last one to know?
I went into clinical depression, saw both a psychiatrist and a psychologist AND went to a divorce recovery group. I made friends and discovered that the problem wasn't me, it was him. I had thought that we would be married like the vows say "for as long as you both shall live." But after all the therapy and the many friends I had and made who helped me I realized that I had been living in a fantasy world and reality sucked. But down the road I met the man who is now my Significant Other and I discovered that reality is someone who is decent, kind, generous, has morals and ethics . . . and loves me as I do Him. So the death of my marriage was ultimately a good thing even though I could not see it at that time. I also discovered a song I did not know existed which says it all and is now my theme song: Unanswered Prayers by Garth Brooks. If Spirit had brought my ex back to me the way I prayed It would do, I would still be married to that louse and would never have known what true love is. "Sometimes I thank God for Unanswered Prayers!"

Well it is hard in the beginning of the end of a relationship. I have been broken up for a year now from my last boyfriend. It was a long six months after I broke up with him. But I knew then, even though it was hard, that we were not right for each other. There is a reason people come into our lives, even if it is just for a season.

Sure, I think we many of us have done this once in our lives. We hang onto what or how we thought the relationship was and as we grow, we realize that we weren't seeing the full picture clearly. Once we do see that full picture (the reality of a situation) it IS easier to let things go.

My experience in this is found in romantic relationships. I have found, more often than I'd like to admit, that I am more excited with the idea of being "in love" than I am with the prospect of getting to know someone new. I hope that I have learned my lesson, but I love to love. So maybe it's just a part of who I am... Hmm, I will have to ponder this, thank you for your question.

Oh, definitely! Isn't that the nature of 'experience'? Hence the old adages: "You never miss the water till the well runs dry" and "all that glitters is NOT gold"!
