Just pondering life tonight and thinking how my divorce was the best thing that ever happened to me. Closely linked with now exH cheating on me with OW who is now seeing someone else and he's back at the parental home. Maybe him leaving was the best thing rather than the divorce itself but the end result was the same. My dc are the best things that happened to me by design but the marriage break up was the best thing that was out of my control and has turned into a true blessing in disguise. Do you have any events where it's been a case of things happen for a reason/the lord moves in mysterious ways (if you're religious)/shit happens/insert any other phrase along the same lines? If that thing involved you being shit on from a great height did you get revenge or did karma/life do it for you? It's taken nearly a decade for things to even out but it was worth waiting for and I wish I'd have known in my 30s how great my 40s would be man-free as I'd have divorced him sooner never got married.
