Positive after divorce stories needed!

[Missbee90]

Hi All,
Just having a bit of a low and needing some positive stories! Ex husband left me 10 months ago, basically got in bed with me one night and told me he didn’t love me anymore and that was that.
I really need to hear some positive after divorce stories to help pick me back up and remember there is life and love after this! I’m only 28 and have no children so I know I have an entire lifetime ahead of me but after being with someone 11 years I find it hard to imagine a life without him, i’m healing and started to be excited for the future, just need some positive stories!

Ahh come on my lovely mumsnetters, there must be at least 1 story .. this girl needs some hope

Not a divorce story but was with my ex for ten years, broke up & it was absolutely the best thing which ever happened to me. Similar situation, never had been with anyone else, thought we’d always be together etc but..

Now with the man of my dreams, careers progressed & I’m happier than ever.

Got there through love & support with lots of self focus before I went onto the dating scene.

Good luck, you’ll be fine

I was with my ex-husband for twelve years (married for four of those). He decided he didn’t want to be married anymore and I later discovered he was sleeping with someone else. So I filed for divorce and turned 30 in the middle of that.

It was difficult to imagine a future without him, but I’m 35 now and have been married for a few years to someone else. We are having our first child together this summer. My husband is so excited and I can’t imagine doing this with my ex, it would have been horrible.

This isn’t the way I thought my life would go, but I’m glad that it did.

H left 4 years ago. Together for 30 years. Yes it hurt, yes it was hard, but my life is very different now and in many ways much better. No ones life is perfect but you are in charge of your life: make the best of it. And my top tip: say yes more. Yes I’d like to do that, go there, have that.

I’ve never been happier lived on my own for 10 years after my divorce and thoroughly enjoyed it! Had an absolute blast being completely selfish.

I’m now settled with my best friend and the most wonderful, kind, respectful man..

I got divorced 3 years ago.. Different as I am 40's My idea of happy ending is probably different as I have my kids and good career. But give yourself time to grieve.. It is a loss of future. But you can plan a good and wonderful future. You are in control. My life is not perfect but SO much better

Divorced at 32,met now DH shortly after and we have ds

Thank you all, so lovely to hear xx

With my ex for 10 years, married for 3, chucked him out after finally getting the courage to do so. Haven't looked back. Met a wonderful man 9 months later and he treats me like a princess. I was 30 when it all happened. Mine and my dd are much happier without the twat!

Yes, divorced at 39 with 2 very young kids after 13 years together. At the time, my ex told me my life was over - and he was right, my miserable old life with him was! Everything changed for the better. I'm happily remarried, have a career I love and the kids are doing great. Your divorce is a wonderful opportunity to start over, don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

Well I've been divorced twice. First time was aged 29, no kids, very amicable. Second time was horrendous, 2 children, very prolonged court case. But now, 4 years down the line we're settled, calm, happy and I've recently met someone I'm head over heels in love with.
