I am sorry.....The shame belongs to that guy, NOT to you.......I usually ask myself......is this HIS stuff or MY stuff; usually HIS stuff/problem. I like the saying "Don't let anyone steal your joy"---That is hard sometimes, I know.

Yeah... I am not looking forward to being in the dating pool again. Not one bit. I wish I could still be married, but not to my husband.
And thanks so much. You're right - HE should be ashamed of himself, not me.
I have so many thoughts going on that it's hard sometimes to be happy. He is stealing my joy because of all the negative thoughts & feelings I have towards him and then also towards myself. I have put up with far too much from him. He sucked me DRY. Now, I need to recover and find my joy again.
