    About Me

    Time to update just a bit. I've been divorced now for a year and have learned alot about myself. Still learning and hope to never stop. I enjoy watching my girls play in all the sports and I do mean all the sports. Which means that I'm constantly running to practices and games. That's okay, I want them to be involved. I play competitive softball, volleyball and kickball but love all sports. I'm a very giving and caring person, which at times allows others to take advantage of me. I'm working on that!

    Interests

    Sports, working out, friends, reading and dining out (when I have money). I love spending time with my friends or just hanging out watching football and Cardinal baseball. I am a hopeless romantic which apparently didn't help my marriage. He didn't appreciate it. I love the beach, fishing and just snuggling with someone that I love. Haven't done that in awhile!

    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      Just newly divorced after being with him since 1991. Found out that while we were married he had an affair with the person that I accused him with. She even denied it but then again, she's also married. This whole thing about being on my own with two girls ages 8 and 10 is so scary. Some days are very good and some are very lonely.

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Not Working
      Didn't work because the counselor told my ex that he had to grow up and realize that he's married with two children. He walked out.
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      I really enjoyed my counselor. She helped me tremendously and have become friends since. She's about 20 years older than I and has been happily married.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      It always works talking to your friends and family.

    • Close Infidelity

      I found out while we were going through a divorce that my ex had an affair with another married woman (while we were married)with a woman that I had accused him with. Both denied anything had happened that they were just "friends". Even when I found a card that she had given my husband at the time describing how he was the man for her. It took everything in my being not to go to her husband.

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Not Working
      Didn't work since the counselor told my ex to grow up - He walked out. Plus he basically told him he lying to me about the affair.
