Yes i am very differnt , The past 8 yrs has opened up so many new things to me that I feel if i was still married i would never have seen OR become who i am, be it good or bad .

I personaly have come "into MY own "

I can now speak for myself and i dont feel the need to worry on >>

What if my x will get annoyed by not informing him of someting etc etc

Just a personal thing

Bob i have not read ur profile so i dont know your story as such but same question back to u ,,,, wave

I would hope I evolved roll eyes

Now other then chemistry, I look for similar interests, direction in life, goals, personality traits that are compatible with mine, etc.

I became more tolerant to differences, and started to believe that there are no good or bad people, just good and bad matches wine

I was afraid someone was going to ask me. I'm still sorting it out but it's not all positive. I'm hoping to identify some patterns that make me feel like i'm sort of in a normal progression. 3 years for me (officially) since the gavel came down anyway.

yes of course - regardless of my relationship status I have "evolved"

In some ways i am very different - more confident maybe, definitely more discerning, less concious about what others think about my life , my decisions, my person

but in some ways I am still the same as I always was. It's just that these tendencies I have described ^ here are more pronounced now, I thinkwave

You strike me as someone who had those qualities to begin with and independence has magnified them?
