I haven’t been here in a long time.
It’s been just over 4 years since DDAY.
I have healed and my life is unbelievably happy. I love being single, it’s amazing.
I remember coming here and people said it might take 5 years to heal. I could barely get through the next minute. I just was in such pain that I wanted to die. I couldn’t imagine five months much less five years.
First year, I’d have taken him back but I was also in therapy and starting to figure things out.
Second year was better, the pain was starting to recede like the tide but it still hurt. At this point I’d have never taken him back.
Third year I started waking up happy. I am happy all the time. From this point, I’ve never had a bad day. I’ve had bad things happen but even my bad days are not bad days.
Fourth year is nothing but me living my best life. It’s truly been the best year of my life, ever.
Now we are entering that fifth year.
The depression is totally gone and I’ve been off all meds for about 2 years now. I have a deep joy like nothing I’ve ever experienced.
And now, I like someone. He’s a Christian, the real deal not a faker like some people I know 🙄. I’ve known him since I was still married to the fool. I know his character and I know the good bad and ugly about him.
He’s been single for a long time. Longer than me. He’s been waiting to meet someone but the right woman hasn’t come along I guess.
We sat next to each other in church last week for the first time. I’m pretty sure he likes me too.

Wonderful news!
I've been single for most of the past 7yrs, waiting for the right guy. I, too, met the right guy (for me) last summer and he checks all my boxes and makes my heart go pitterpatter everytime I see him :)
May 29 2021 ***reclaimed myself and decided to delete my story with my ex because I'm now 7 years free from him and mentally healthier than I've been in years.

He came over to do a small five minute chore yesterday (heavy lifting beyond my ability. “Acts of service” is my love language🥰🥰
I was standing there with a big stupid grin on my face because I was happy to see him and I said would you like to come in and he says yes and I had to turn around super fast so he didn’t see my happy beaming face with hearts shooting out of my eye sockets 😬😬
