My Wife Left Me Today -sucks

I was married just short of 30 yrs when the wife left. I was prepared to let her have her space, until the bills started arriving. Then I filed. I moved and changed the bank accounts. I also changed the beneficiary on my insurance. I left her our church of 20 years and the friends we made there. It has been difficult, even two years later. Yeah, I've also dropped 25 lbs.

Over the past two years, I have tried to be on the high ground. I've found a new church and joined the local Mopar club. For fun, I tinker on the car and watch movies. I'm also seeing a shrink (professionally). If my ex wants to start trouble, I'm content to just walk away. If I'm cornered, I make no threats, but plan to keep promises. Thankfully, there has been no issue there.

The thing I was most concerned about was that my ex would try to alienate our children from me. Thankfully, no one has taken sides or been asked to take sides.

It has taken me these past two years to get to a point where I am interested in meeting interesting women in a social context. After 30 years of monogamy, I don't have a clue where to start.

I don't know you, or the particulars of your circumstances. However, I wish you well. It is not an easy path to take, but others have gone before us and have come through the expierence changed, but ok. My faith and a handful of long-time trusted friends have helped me get through. I hope you have a support network as least as good as mine to help you make good decisions and navigate through the trials that come.
