Intro
Not sure if jumping right in is okay on this board.
I was on TK/TN under a different knottie name years ago when I was married to my Ex-H. We divorced after almost four years in January 2011.....and like a fool, I jumped into a relationship with a guy who really wasn't that into me.....
I proposed to him, he humored me. Three months after that proposal, he and his parents moved him out while I was at work one day. That was late last September.
I jumped into another relationship with a different guy about a month after Ex-FI and I split, and he moved in. We realized that while I liked him a lot......he saw me only as a friend. So, we split amicably a month ago.
For the first time in.....fifteen years.....I'm neither in a relationship, nor trying to get myself into another one. I'm just trying to take one day at a time these days.
That's my story.
Re: Intro
Hi. Welcome. I'm glad you are taking some time for yourself right now. Amazing things happen when you do that.
ETA: It's slower on evenings and weekends so if you don't get much response just yet don't feel bad.
Sure, jump right in! We are actually pretty nice to Newbies
There is a HUGE theme on this board of being okay with being single and knowing that you truly have to love yourself before you can love someone else. It sounds like you definitely learned the lesson the hard way, but the important thing is that you learned the lesson. Some women who come to this board never do.
It will be hard at times but remember that we have all been through it. There were times that I couldn't even take it one day at a time, I had to go by the hour or minute. Did you ever go to therapy after your divorce?
Anyway, welcome to the board and I hope you stick around!

Yep, I did go into therapy after I left the Ex-H, and I still would be, if I were able to afford it. Hopefully that will change soon.
I'll stick around. I half expected to be flamed for some unknown reason.
Just don't do anything stupid....kidding. No, if you get flamed on here it is for a reason and you will know it. The SO is actually a very nice board but if one of us does something stupid, yes, we do flame each other or call each other out. Even the regulars get flamed so don't take it personal if you do!
