When my wife told me she wanted to divorce after 33 years of marriage I was gutted. All I could do was think about the future and make plans for a new wife. The planning certainly helped ease the pain.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, especially with how painful the experience is/was.
I definitely agree with you that moving on is a method of coping in a healthy way and [hopefully] easing a bit of the pain. However, if I may (and speaking from experience)… I may take it easy on the plans for a new spouse. The planning for the new seems to represent moving on but I just wouldn’t want to see you set yourself up for more pain if you are specifically targetting a new spouse and anything interrupts your plans.

Deborah, You’re amazing!
I just impressed to read this mail. You said very well on that. I am personally happy to get sounds like that from an unknown person.
I guess if she understands your suggestion from heart she must follow your tips and decide to live together.
Thanks a lot!
Thank you, Pamela! I need to check out your article(s), as well. From the title, it looks interesting 😉
