Where to start so this doesn't turn into a novel? I was what I thought was happily married for ten years, when my wife had an affair. She told me why she felt she had cheated and we worked together on fixing the problem. Eight years later I got hurt at work and eventually became disabled. During that process she asked for a divorce swearing it had nothing to do with my becoming disabled. My divorce was final on Oct. 29 of this year. On Nov. 24th I found out that about a year after I got hurt and a month before she asked for the divorce, she had started cheating on me again. I feel so pathetic now that I really don't know if I should even be thinking about trying to date. Maby I should go find a nice monastery, or a cave in the hills? Thoughts anyone?

She choices are her own to make. They do not reflect who you are as an individual. Be responsible for yourself and if you know that you did your best - that is all that can be said.

You now need to move forward in your own life and not dwell in the past otherwise the only person you are hurting is yourself. If it was a friend that this happened too - I'm sure your advice would be to move forward and be happy. You deserve it.

Good luck and be excited to a whole new future of possibilities. There are many wonderful people out in the world - don't let some bad experiences rob you of future happiness.

It is the way of the wanderer. It says "this way is common to me, look to your feet and the path appears, the next part is only steps, if you so choose."

Keep your eyes up though, so you don't walk into a tree.

It's not you. You are not responsible for some else's behaviour. You are only in control of yourself. Be brave, never look back, and be master of your fate, without allowing her to control your feelings.
Been there,done that.

Look at the fact that many a good woman stays with their man even after terrible events and lasting effects. Look at the fact that many men in all walks of life and conditions are left alone by their ex spouses. It is not you my friend......it is her. There are plenty of women out there with the right stuff to make a man a good wife. One of them will be yours.....find her!!!

Some good books on self esteem and goal setting will help you get your life focused and on your way.



Besides!, If you move in a cave them darn cave to cave siding salemen will bug the snot out of you!!!!rolling on the floor laughing

I'd say neither one. Take some time off, learn all over about yourself again (and take the process very seriously!), and then come back a perfectly healed and happy person. Relationships on the rebound are not generally recommended.
