SummerUK: Life is very very difficult. We all know that. I guess the life you have ends up being a choice you make. Theres only two. Positive and negative.
You have to make a conscious decision to be positive because its easy to be negative.
Life is also full of beautiful things.
I have chosen to be positive
I always like to think of it in terms of "did you put back more than you took"?

"'tis a gift to be loving, and the best gift of all like a warm Spring rain, bringing bounty where it falls and as we learn and grow, we shall come to believe 'tis better to give than it is to receive".

So right. We all have choices, I chose to travel and work after my divorce, then found my "paradise" here. I took risks, giving up a well paid job in the UK, to do what I´m doing now. I´ve never regretted it, new friends, new country, new language and culture.
One has to be prepared to meet radical challenges if life has dealt a low blow, and act on them, in spite of the perceived risks, regardless of age.

I Believe... just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do love each other. I Believe... we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change. I Believe.... no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that. I Believe... true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love. I Believe... you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life. I Believe.... it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be I Believe... you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them. I Believe.... you can keep going long after you think you can't I Believe.... we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel. I Believe... either you control your attitude or it controls you. I Believe... heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences. I Believe.... my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time. I Believe.... sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up. I Believe... sometimes when I'm angry, I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel. I Believe.... maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated. I Believe.... it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others. Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself. I Believe... no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief. I Believe.... our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but, we are responsible for who we become. I Believe... you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever. I Believe.... Two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different. I Believe... your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you. I Believe.... even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you - you will find the strength to help. I Believe... credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

That´s just too long to read, but I believe you.
Seriously. most people here have the attention span of a gnat, so long posts rarely get read fully.
Now, I must mark my student´s homework, that generaly uses up all my attention.
Life is a book and you have to reed it Life is a story and you have to tell it Life is a song and you have to sing it You have to know how to live it.................

Sometimes I wonder why men complain sooo much about having married the wrong woman. I mean..... were you forced? Did her Da stand behind you with the proverbial shot gun???
After all, it was YOUR choice (bar above circumstances), so just admit, that it was a wrong choice, a mistake. And BE DONE WITH IT! Geeez, you'd think us women didn't make the same kind of mistakes. Certainly seems we don't harp on it for aeons!
Move on, other mums have pretty daughters/decent sons too!

It appears that its easier for them to wallow in self pity and not even admit that they had a part in the relationship failing. Truly, its getting a little old - post after post of the same crap. Grow some balls and grow up.
