    Well done that man :T

    You have really been through the mill recently and yet your strength of character and resilience have kicked in and you are getting your life back on track. You are wise to be so realistic about future ups and downs. I do think it really helps though to focus on the good aspects of any situation. The glass half full rather than the glass half empty approach to life if you like. This thread is inspiring and I hope it will help many people.
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

    Wow. I feel like a different person. I'm genuinely beginning to feel better now than I have done in years.

    And to anyone else who stumbles upon this thread in times of grievance and desperation. It gets better, believe me.

    That's probably an indication that your ex wasn't right for you. If you've been making adjustments to your life to accommodate her wishes which have led to you not being true to yourself, it's lucky that she's taken herself off.

    Things usually do get better but it's not always a steady, upwards path. Don't be surprised if you still have the occasional day when you feel down. Just keep sight of the better life you're making for yourself now.
