hi gorgeous,life does get better.Do not make any decision when you feel confused,once you get used to the idea of I instead of us,your thinking will be more rational and you will not regret your action.When I was very angry I wanted to do a lot of things which would have been detrimental to me,I know it might take a bit longer but then what is a few week .Make sure that you do not sign anything and always ask for advice ,there are a lot of experience people on this site.Good luck ,hope to catch you in chat room

Getting divorced takes time, which means you have time to adjust and get used to the idea of it. It is a bereavement of sorts and some days you cope better that others. It is early days and you are bound to feel all over the place.

The chat room on this site is a good place to be if you need cheering up. People in there are very kind at helpful. They have helped me alot when I have been really down. Now I am divorced and a whole lot happier than I have been for years. It took a year, but I have come through it and so will you. So yes it does get easier.

If you post on the forum any questions or dilemmas about decisons you have to make, I am sure you will soon have lots of helpful advice. It helps when doing this to give some background to your circumstances. Don't be rushed into making decisons take time making them.

Best wishes and take care

Hi there, I know what you mean about the confusion. It took 7weeks for my petition to be served + my stbx has until tomorrow (coincidentally my sons birthday) to respond. He hasn't spoken to me at all about it, but from what he has said to our daughter, I don't think he is contesting it.
On one hand I want it all to be over, and on the other I think it should be done slowly to give respect to the 29yrs we have been together. I'd love to be happy about it all, but I'm not!!
At least we know we are not alone!!
Take care x
