This is my second marriage to fail, and I'm still in my 30s. I never thought in a million years that this would happen to me again, especially not with Mark. Having gone through a divorce once before doesn't make it easier, because every relationship is different. Still, I know from that other experience that I can -- and will -- get through this and be okay. It's just getting to that point that's going to suck.

So sorry honey:( Having seen my daughter go through this in the last few years I can understand the hurt and pain you are going through.

She is now bouncing back, enjoying life with new friends (and also some very supportive old friends from when she was a couple) and has started dating, although not wanting to get too involved yet....

Hang in there my dear. It will all come together in it's own good time:fingerscrossed::wub:

I don't think that any of us ever really understands just what the uprooting of one partner to move to a new country is going to mean for the relationship as it progresses -- whether it succeeds or it doesn't. One person remains in their comfort zone, the other gives up everything that is safe and familiar -- for love! That can be a pretty ephemeral--can't find the right word, flimsy, dangerous? -- hook to hang one's happiness and one's life upon.
