Have you had a devastating split, with kids, and eventually gone on to find Mr Fabulous?

Encouragement for those of us for whom it seems impossible at the moment.

Thank you! This thread has really cheered me up (having bad day today). Currently single but hoping I've learnt the same lesson as notdoingthehousework (n particular), and will be much more 'discerning' in future!
Did any of you find it hard to learn to trust new DPs after bad experiences in the past?

No, I trusted my new man as he was so honest. -We met while both catching a cow !
I have never had any cause to become suspicious or doubting and you relax into it.
Exes are just that - part of the past and no part in the future.

Thanks for all contributions. There is, indeed, hope.

living in hope too...!
