Thank you for sharing your stories. I’ve recently been divorced from someone I was with for 11 yrs and married for four.

I know how you feel about your travels. I decided to make a trip to Europe. I won’t lie, I’ve had to force myself to get out and see the beauty of my surroundings. I can’t help but to think how nice it would have been to experience all this with her. The hardest part has been to let go of all the ambitions I had. I am learning to love myself and how to be alone again. I’m realizing how poorly I let myself be treated and how she is not the person I thought she was. I’m not sure if I accepted her treatment because I loved with all my heart or if there’s something else I need to assess about myself. I made mistakes in my marriage and took life too seriously, but I was willing to improve and realize it takes two. I hope to make myself better mentally and physically for the next person I meet.

There are many times I’ve thought about my ex on this trip, but I remind myself that my happiness isn’t tied to her. It’s up to us to go out, move forward and create new experiences for ourselves. Go out there and make it a new experience for you 🙂
