I thoroughly sympathize with you dear. I am a grandmother of 5 and have been there just like you.
Over 20 years ago, I thought I found a man who was to be my partner for life. I had already been married once before, but he didn't care, and we had a wonderful relationship, and were engaged for 7 years/ I wasn't intrested in marriage and was content to be with him, period.
When he proposed, I was very happy. He showered me with gifts, jewelry, and clothes. He was very good to my children. Everything was like a dream come true.
Suddenly, after 14 months of marriage, he decided he wanted a divorce. This came as a complete shock, not only to me but to my family and friends. I don't know what gave me the stength and courage to move on, but it took a little time. Fortunately my children,
who were grown by then, were a great comfort and support.
So you see dear, remember, nobody dies from a broken heart. And the saying that there is only one mate for you in the world is not true.
There are plenty of fish in the sea and you will meet your life partner. You are young and you will look back on this as a learning life experience. Just don't give up. Time is a great healer. Best of luck. SONGBIRD.
I just got dumped! :( I am absolutely devastated! Need advice please....: click here to read the entire thread »
