    About Me

    Hi! I am a family based woman with a happy disposition. I like to play golf and have also taken up competitive rowing over the past two years and love it. I have had some relationship traumas over the past year which have taken their toll, but am still smiling with the help of some wonderful friends and family. I am looking to chat with some others who perhaps have undergone similar experiences in the hope it strengthens me for my own journey. I am looking at divorce and I am 47 years old. Given him 26 years of my life and finding it hard to let go and move on.

    Interests

    Golf, rowing, reading, drawing, friends, family, walking or hiking.

    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      Hi, I have been fighting infidelity in my 20 year marriage for 2 years. Long story, and consider me stupid, but each time I catch my husband back communicating with the mistress, I call our relationship off and somehow he gets me to believe in him again and I let him back in. It has worn me down over time and I am at last trying really hard just to tell him where to go as I just cannot build trust for him again. Tonight I have told him I cannot go on. I am scared but this has to be right.

      Treatments

      Love Working / Worked
      I have a huge capacity for complete and utter love. I am perhaps an idealist rather than a realist though. I still love my husband despite the trauma.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      I have a wonderful therapist who has helped me grow into an independent woman who has set boundaries in life and who will embrace her life journey.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      Many, many friends. Some are judgemental. Mean well, but cant accept why I keep going back for more of the same from him. Others silent and supporting.
      Time Working / Worked
      Two years of heartache for me. Two years of on and off infidelity. I need a complete break from it and I am sure time will heal.
      Faith Working / Worked
      I read a book called "Buddhism for Busy People". Great philosophies for good clean living and happiness. Gives me great focus.
    • Close Infidelity

      My husband has been cheating on me with the same woman on and off for two years. I have a very complex and painful journey but can say now that part of me is pleased that I have taken this journey, as my emotional growth has been superb. The pain and heartbreak has been unbearable at times though, and the long term effects on our marriage may mean it is irretrievable.

    • Open Depression Supporters

      Have a friend who i have known for about 6 months, who has suddenly become anxious and depressed. If i look at what i know about him though, i can see that perhaps the tendency to be low was there all the time, as well as the anxiety and fears. It has hit him like a bomb and it is frustrating the hell out of me. I am a happy go lucky person who manages to find a positive in everything. I consider my self empathetic, but am at a loss sometimes as to how to help here.
