Life after divorce?

I recently went through a rough time in my marriage and it got me to wondering about things. How do you start a new life after you've been married, had kids, and all the other stuff? How does one make the transition?

One day at a time... Everything does get easier with time. It's hard to get over and will take a lot of time. I thought no man in the world was worth my time, and I was convinced I NEVER wanted to get married again. I got divorced very young (got married very young too, cuz I knew everything!) and felt like such a loser. ALl my friends made me feel better (or tried to) by telling me to consider it my "practice marriage." ... Then I met someone for whom I would give my life and who I think is flawed but is the most wonderful man in the world (but who would want someone "perfect?")... We are getting married soon and it's been a wonderful experience. Always look out for your kids, but don't forget to look out for yourself as well! Good luck.

Yeah. The kids is what kept me sober-minded throughout the ordeal. I am glad that you made it through and reaping the benefits today. :-) That which doesn't kill us, only hurts for a little while.

I haven't or will I ever marry but I know of many great films that can show a few ways to deal with marriage and divorce. On is a made for t.v.called Breaking Up Is Hard To Do. In this film it shows how men deal with divorce.In a nutshell they bonded with their friends who were going through the same thing. Another shown from the man's point of view is Bye Bye love. It shows how men deal with trying to keep a connection with the kids after a divorce.The one film that really shows how you know when it is time to break up is HBO's Dinner With Friends.It shows two couples one who have a great marriage and another who doesn't.
