Alright DV, this is an interesting topic for me. I won't go into the sordid details, but I'll give the coffee table version.
Fell madly in love 8 years ago. The serious soul type, this is the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with and will do anything for kind of love. I was surprised to say the least.
Got married, had a couple of kids. Relationship had its ups and downs. I never even considered cheating on her in any way shape or form.
She broke my heart, cheated on me, and left me. We tried to reconcile several times, and finally decided enough was enough. It was a rough couple of years. Officially divorced last month.
There is however a happy ending. I voted "I love being single and fucking around." After being seperated and enjoying time by myself, I can't imagine being in a serious relationship. I've been down that road, enjoyed it while it lasted...but doubt that I will do it again (I realize that is a normal response, but I believe it right now). No one tells me what to do, where to sleep, or how to live. It fucking rules.
I am in my prime, still young, but with good experience under my belt. I am confident, have two great kids that I adore, and have the rest of my life ahead of me. Life is grand. I have no regrets, wouldn't change a thing, and still love my ex-wife (I imagine I always will).
I also see a counselor once a week to keep my shit straight (I have for the last 5 years).
