Tales from the other side

It's been almost half a year since I last checked this forum, and I thought it would be nice to drop in and say hi to everyone. Almost two years after my HPD ex and I broke up, life is generally very happy, full of sunshine and warm, loving people, and blissfully carefree. Sure, I need to pay the rent, get up in the morning to go to work (hard) and live in a only-half-renovated house, but that's no problem. Such is life, and life is good now.

A far cry from the times I had with my HPD ex: drama, discussions, frustrations, money problems, alienating from friends and family... One wonders why I waited till I had evidence of her cheating to leave her!

I'm going to be brief here, since life is too interesting to spend too much time on the internet - especially since we've got one of the last summer days today - but for all the newcomers who struggle, some advice:

1) this too shall pass
2) no contact is the way to go
3) seek out your old and good friends
4) meet new men/women and just enjoy observing how many wonderful people are out there
5) live! it's just a short stay on this planet, and a year is a terribly long time to waste.
6) get a therapist if you feel you need to talk to someone in depth

I could go on, but that's about it.. To all the regulars and strongholds of the forum of yore, thanks for all the help and advice, I still thinkly warmly of all of you, and godspeed!

Hey Don !

I'm happy for you.......... you're no longer a "victim".

You're a "survivor", and a "conqueror"!

I'm doing great too!

We did good Don, we did good...............

And I thank the people here too, for helping me when I was lost in

the deep dark hole,,,,,
