Counseling

My EXH and I have been divorced for almost a year now.  We went through a year of marriage counseling, but I have never gone by myself.   We divorced because we just didn;t make eachother happy anymore. Everything was a fight.  Around July, he decided we should get back together and was full-court press in his trying.  I have been an emotional rollercoaster wondering if we did the right thing.  I made an apt. to see a counselor in 2 weeks.  I really hope this helps me with the constant wondering I do.  I just want to move on!

    And what about this has changed in the last year apart that didn't change in a year of joint counseling? 

  • Do you have kids? If not, why are you still in touch with him?  I think you need to go to counseling, discontinue contact with your ex and work on yourself. You didn't say that you miss him or that there was any significant change that fixed your problems. Sounds to me like you never took the time to heal and move on.

  • I think it's pretty easy to remember the good times and forget about the bad and the drama.  But think of why you divorced in the first place....try to remember that there were good times but there were obviously some bad times also. 

    Good luck in counseling, hope you can get some guidance and make peace with things.

  • We do not have kids and still talk because we still own a house together.  I totally handled this wrong, I know....we decided to divorce last Dec.  Due to financial reasons, we both stayed in the house until I moved out in Sept.  He still lives in the house while we wait for the short sale to go through (should be in the next month or so).  We are odd....couldn't make it work married but get along great as friends.  Even though we were divorced, we still did things together all summer, movies. etc..  You are right, I will not be able to move on until ties are severed and it is easier to remember the good times.  It's hard because he is such a good person, we are just not right together.
