I am so happy for you! lys, if you want to spend your life miserable, you have that right, but there's no reason for others to do so. In leaving, she gave her husband the opportunity to find a woman who loves him the way he should be loved. In the end, it will be a gift to him.

You left your marriage so you go could go and have fun with someone else? (male or female doesn;t matter) Sorry, but your whole post sounds very self centered and self indulgent.
So you think her H would prefer for her to live a lie?

I am so so happy for you Noralie. You deserve happiness, and your kids will be so much better off in the long run. Hopefully your ex will find someone he loves that can return his love.
You sound so happy, it is contagious! I hope your ex finds happiness too.
Can I ask how old your kids are? I am curious, my parents are divorced twice over and my mother kept things from us both times (divorce from dad she hid the relationship with my stepfather until she got pregnant, I found the sonogram pic, second time she left my stepdad and did not tell me for a year, in the meantime she was living with some other guy). I ask because I found that her keeping those secrets from us made me distance myself from her. I felt alone and betrayed when I did find out. That said, it had a lot to do with my age, 13 and 27 respectively. I can see keeping some things from really young kids, but I true ly encourage you to consider being more open with them if they are a little older.
You can also ignore me, as I am providing completely unsolicited advice.
So glad that things are going so well for you! I hope your ex continues to find peace and move forward with his life as well. It sounds like you have made some great changes for the better.
I don't post much here, but I just want to congratulate you on being true to yourself (such a good example for your kids) and handling a very complicated situation so gracefully... I have a friend who is going through this exact same thing right now, and there are SO many aspects/people/feelings to consider- it's been quite draining for her. (And as for the pot-stirrers... they're nothing but fumes. It's something nobody who hasn't been in your footsteps can every fully understand.)

I agree 100%! Congrats, Noralie!
:Y: I am so happy for you! I'm sure it wasn't easy, but living your authentic life allows others to live theirs, you both will be better off!
