I lost my job a couple of years afer my 17 year marriage ended so I didn't have to deal with both things at once which I think would have given me a nervous breakdown. I took the advice a good friend gave me; every time someone asked me how I was, I would smile and say, "Great!" And after awhile I found that I really was doing great. It's scary stuff you're going through but we all know you'll be fine (just look at all the friends you have on line!).laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17174697892947430149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-47331693843985521422011-05-02T10:45:08.389-04:002011-05-02T10:45:08.389-04:00Another lurker saying, "Hang in there!!"...Another lurker saying, "Hang in there!!"Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00189980490031364873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-18693706482669926102011-04-29T12:51:25.462-04:002011-04-29T12:51:25.462-04:00I'm a longtime reader who has learned so very ...I'm a longtime reader who has learned so very much from you.

If you want to make it better you can, it just takes one partner to want to make it work and the other one will turn around too. A major marriage problem is like a heart attack--it's dangerous and a sign of a serious underlying condition, but once you're aware of the situation you can be healthier afterward. DH and I had a 'heart attack' and we're happier now than we were before. I don't regret learning to love and what commitment and family mean to me. Anyway, just saying that as a lot of people have taken it as a foregone conclusion you're divorcing when it's not. But if you do, then it's the right decision for you.
