Just over 2 years past a divorce. Was supremely depressed when it happened. Was incredibly terrified I wouldn't get to see my son much (2 at the time, 4 now). Since then I've met an incredible woman who I've now been with for about 15 months. We have a more open and honest relationship than I ever had with my wife (and we were together 10 years), or anyone else. Literally every aspect is better - communication, sex, interests, beliefs - just fun in general. We are that annoying couple who finish each others sentences, have the same dirty thoughts at inappropriate times, etc. We're just always on the same page about everything, and it feels like we've been together forever. I have my son 3x a week and we always have a great time together. He loves my gf and she loves him. I'm in the process of getting my visitation changed so I can move in with her (my ex is being a cunt and not willing to change my time with my son, so off to court we go). I never even knew relationships could be like this, to be honest. My marriage never was. I keep waiting for the thing that will shatter this but... it just isn't appearing. I never could have imagined 27 months ago, sitting in the hotel a weeping mess, after my wife asked me to leave, that things could end up like this. The only negative is that I don't have my son full time, and my ex and I have a very shitty, cold relationship.
I'm not sure why I'm posting this. I guess just to share a bit of happiness. There CAN be life after divorce. Who knew?
On that note, life is short Mrs. G - go have some fun with that waitress. You only live once!
