Yay! I’m finally not the “freaky, spiritual, weirdo neighbor who dresses up for Halloween and other woo-woo whimsies”!!! I’m soooooooo happy!

I liked that line about the hobbies you had to do that you didn’t want to do. Hopefully those are done and over!

I think lifelong monogamy is hard for anyone–male or female. I think powerful men probably have a harder time than most resisting other women, just because the opportunity must present itself more than it does for the average person. Same with actors and actresses.

interesting site but I had a question with my comment.
I am going through a divorce but there are no children involved just primal bitter emotions and property.
I have not been following the blog but will go back to the start at some point soon.
Marriage can be hell and divorce worse or couplehood wonderful and then its over; there lies the difference.
I read the last 3 or 4 posts and it seems that you’re changing your opinion re: men or I’ve missed something.
Letterman and Tiger Woods surprised some of us but really, Seinfeld and Conan don’t cheat and neither did Walter Cronkite or Art Linkletter, thats a fact and several big time hollywood types leave a marriage because they have wives that are bipolar or alcoholic. (Patty Duke and John Astin, James Cameron and Linda Hamilton to name a few)
In my case, things just got stale; no drama, just montonony.
Marriage involves attorneys and this is disgusting and yes,girls; there are nasty female attorneys out there too.
My question; do you really think all men are not cut out for monogomy; if so how about women?
As a feminist, I need to be true to my own truth.
I’m just curious as to yours.

I’m glad your enjoying the class. As someone still relatively new to the whole separated/divorced world, I’m finding all the “now’s your chance to find yourself!” advice a little overwhelming, just one more expectation when I’m already trying to keep my head above water. I can see how finding or rediscovering a new hobby would be great. I just can’t see how I can do that while also trying to keep a roof over our heads and my kids’ emotional health intact.

HOT YOGA – yes, I have seen the shin sweat of which you speak……even toes do a little! I went to 5 yoga classes before I fractured my ankle Something very therapeutic about all that sweat coming out of you….Trying new things is what is keeps life interesting. When I get my cast off, want to come snowboarding w/ me? (It is what I tried in my apocalyptic divorce stage of trying the new…)

Oh, Christina! I am a yoga-addict, you know that! I am so happy for you! Namaste, my yogini friend! Just wait until your body starts craving it! Or when, as you’re complaining and being nasty to a family member, they tell you to please go to a yoga class. Because you need one. Yay, yay, yay for you!!!
