    About Me

    39 year young mother of 3 sons - 13, 9, 3. Elementary school teacher. Devastated by husband's announcement of leaving the marriage. I received my divorce papers in November of '07, and the divorce was final March 19, 2008. Will this hurt ever lessen?

    Interests

    walking, reading, music, movies, dinner out or in (if we cook together), my sons, summer vacation (I'm a teacher), shopping, beautiful sunsets, a day at the lake, snuggling on the couch during a thunderstorm, a good bottle of merlot, and great conversation.

      married 10 years......have 3 children.......husband decides he's not happy and his love for me has changed...then found out he'd been having an affair....he wanted a divorce and I wanted to save the marriage. I know in my head that it is truly over. My heart is broken, but I will not let this beat me!
