To Send or Not to Send; That is the Question

We were discussing this in my divorce support group tonight. I’m of the “go ahead and hit send” school, as long as your ex isn’t going to haul you into court over what you wrote. My co-leader, who’s a kinda new agey girl thinks you should take the high road and write it [...]

Blue Collar guy responds

Lawnguy on divorce360.com responded to my post about blue collar guy.  I just have to reprint this.  It’s hysterical:

Saying “ain’t” a lot ain’t a problem. The other things about Creationism may prove to be a barrier if yo’re not bent that way. Some guys go on and on simply because they don’t know what else [...]

Date with blue collar guy

So I went out with blue collar guy, twice in fact.  The first time I met him for a drink at a local bar/restaurant where he bought me dinner.  He’s nice looking, and the evening was pleasant.  He talked, and talked – a lot – didn’t ask much about me and his conversation wasn’t exactly [...]

What kind of compromises should you make to find a relationship?

I have no idea if anything will come of this, but I agreed to go out with someone who sounds totally inappropriate for me. He’s a working class, blue collar guy, works in a body shop, doesn’t read, hasn‘t got great grammar. I’m a writer, intellectual, OK I admit it, I’m a snob. I haven’t [...]

Forget flowers buy her a wedding ring coffin

If you know a divorcee who needs to move on buy her a wedding ring coffin.  This adorable gift only costs $34.95 and looks like a real coffin and has a little ring insert.   I would buy one and put it on my knick knack shelf if I hadn’t bought my own wedding ring, which [...]

What’re you doing for Valentine’s Day?

I totally blocked out Valentine’s Day until I turned on the Today Show and they’re carrying on about gifts.  Aarrggh.  I had forgotten about Valentine’s Day and I can’t remember what day of the week it is.  I do have to get my daughter a present. But I sure won’t be going out with [...]

My first date in two years was a bomb.

I did some internet dating a while ago, had a couple of intense affairs, but when they didn’t work out I essentially gave up. I couldn’t face any more rejection. I find that I’ve aged out of the dating pool at 66. Men my age want younger women, or at least women [...]

Yet another shrink visit

I am so sick of telling my story.
Yesterday I went to yet another shrink, looking for someone to help me and my daughter heal our relationship. I started telling my story, one more time, and felt that I should write it all down in capsule form so I wouldn’t have to keep repeating myself. [...]

Happy Tofurkey Day

Sorry I’ve been remiss in posting. I’m no longer working for divorce360.com and though I’ll still be posting there as well as here, it’s hard to keep up blogging when you’re not being paid.
Anyway, wanted to let you know that I’m looking forward to Thanksgiving even though my daughter won’t be coming. I [...]

How do you stop feeling bitter?

My last blog about revenge or forgiveness has elicted a large response on Divorce360.com.   The amount of pain and bitterness poured out is stunning.  Mostly from women.  I’m sure men feel the same way, but it seems to be women who pour it out.    I know bitterness is a bad thing, but if you’re still [...]
