If you never found love again after your divorce, would you still be happy?

Jellybeans

Of course. Because happiness isn't dependent on someone else. It's up to you to be happy.

I don't know. I don't think so. I really like sharing my life with someone. I want to wake up next to the person I love, hold hands walking down the street, cuddle on the couch, grab for each other in the middle of the night, laugh and talk,etc., etc. I want all that again just better, more honest, and faithful.

What a terrific answer. Consider this thread closed.

I don't know.

Maybe not.

And, I'd have to learn how to live (survive) ok with that.

Jellybeans

Why, thank you. ::Curtsies::

an important distinction. i suppose its different for everyone, but i may be in the same group as Cantmove

I know that if I'm ever going to find love again, I have to love myself first. For me I will learn how to make myself happy, but I think if I didn't find another person again I wouldn't feel completely ok with it. Like cantmove said, I want to cuddle, hold hands, do all those things again.

Somewhere along the way, I stopped loving myself. A happy marriage didn't make me happy.

And, it affected how I acted/reacted in the marriage.

I thought by putting others before me, I would be happy. But, it starts within.

I'm reading no more mr. nice guy, so that may seem familiar to some.

The thought of never finding love again terrifies me. It's also the reason I have put up with so much from my STBXH.

yep.

Love is all around,though.

Not thinking positive you are. Hope for future you must have. Put positive spin on everything you must. Do or do not. There is no try.



Ok, I've had my geek moment here. Proud, you will get to that point with someone again. Deep down, you know you'll be ok. A positive attitude radiates outward, and attracts others. You've made progress in the past weeks, remember that!

I would be. If there's one thing I've learned is I MUST be happy independently of whether I'm with someone or not. In the event I never find love again, I would be thankful that at least I feel I experienced what love was when I fell in love with STBXW and also I would thank God for giving me my son who I love and loves me. Plus a wonderful family.

You're gonna make it after all. (Mary Tyler Moore theme)
