    Good for you, not. It seems like you're in the best possible place you can be given all the circumstances. i only hope Drip had a little bit to do with it. :)

    Not... the tone of your posts when all this started, to where you are today, is something right out of a movie. Good that you have begun the rebound from what was a truly terrible situation, and that you decided to make the most of it and better yourself through it. It was awesome reading that last post. Kind of like a true to life Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Now go get yourself a Mila Kunis and stage a puppet show.

    Not, first of all CONGRATULATIONS. I know you're still in the healing process, but you've passed a tremendous hurdle. Didn't I tell you that one day you'd be able to look at her and have little or no emotional ties? You're almost there.
    Word of caution. You will meet someone new. You'll feel guarded and not open up to them. That's to be expected. But do yourself a favor, DON'T compare them to your ex and don't treat them the way your ex treated you. Respect them and learn about them as a person before opening up your heart completely.
    You are going to be fine. I have a feeling that you are going to be a better person having been through the stuff you've been through. God's best to you.

    Yay! Where should we send our bill? 8)

    I always feel bad saying 'congratulations' after a divorce, it really isn't a celebratory kind of event...but in your case, most definitely, CONGRATULATIONS!!

    You went through hell and survived...now you know you can get through anything. May the last six months be the worst time of your life, with only good days ahead.

    Congrats, Not.

    So many people on here told you that someday, life would get better. And look what happened. It did.

    Not - I'm very, very happy for you. You pulled through, and we're all proud of you. Like others have said, may you have many happy days, and may you meet someone special.
     
  8. I watched that movie not too long ago. My goodness Mila Kunis is beautiful. I've had a crush on her since That 70s Show. As for the puppet show -- I should turn my story into a movie or something. Sorta like The Breakup, but not quite.

    Congratulations, Not.

    I knew this day would come, and I'm glad it's finally here. What I'm happiest about is that you've moved on emotionally and you're ready for the next phase of your life. As I've told you many times, it's only going to get better from here!

    Congrats again!

    I'm still curious about the split with loverboy, not that I'm not terribly happy for not either way.

    Same here. I hope we will get an update if Not ever finds out, but the most important thing is that she's out of his life and he can move on. Not, I hope you are as happy and at peace as you say you are in your posts and that things only get better.
