Another Intro post
Hello - I joined the Knot back in 2003/2004 when I was planning a wedding. Fast forward several years and I'm now divorced due to XH's infidelity with a coworker - they currently live together. We have two daughters and due to distance he sees them once every month or two, but will soon be moving an hour away from us (with his GF).
I was laid off at the time DD2 was born so when we separated I was a SAHM. I'm now back in the working world (for over a year) and have my life together. The kids and I are actively joining a church and doing a small amount of animal rescue volunteer work (transports, etc.). Overall I'm in a very happy place. I was dating someone for just over a year and he ended things last week because he believes he is not a 'relationship person' and he likes to come and go as he pleases and not worry about anyone else. I was heartbroken and still don't understand it but it's done and I'm starting yet another new chapter. I'm still working through some of the feelings from the loss of that relationship and just focusing on creating the best life I can for myself and my girls... not interested in dating any time soon. I look forward to getting to know some of you better by posting over here.

Welcome!
You sound like a strong woman, and I wish you luck in dealing with your feelings from your last relationship. It is always hard... (hugs)
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
I was as my marriage was declining. I actually initially went because I thought I was having anxiety/paranoia thinking my XH was cheating and he was telling me I was just crazy. Turns out it was my intuition telling me the truth. I'm not in counseling at the moment. I feel I'm currently stable and worked through alot of issues with that therapist and am on my own path of personal growth and healing right now reading books, exercising, and exploring a new faith. Not to say I'll never go back, I just feel like I don't need it at this time. But the times I have went in my life I did find it very helpful.
