Yanky 55: I agree with what you say – being divorced can be difficult. I am divorced for 6 years after nearly 39 years of being married. Luckily my daughter was grown and married when this happened. While there was never any physical abuse, the constant belittling became wearisome. There was a definite lack of communication and eventually we were 2 people sharing a residence. The past few years have proved to be wonderful – I have become very independent and much more sociable – he never wanted to socialize. I have a host of friends and life is very good. However, it would sometimes be nice to have someone to accompany me to a play, concert or restaurant. I often miss being part of a couple as it seems that much of the social order of the world works on this principle. My only suggestions for a better relationship are to ensure that lines of communication are always open and the couple are comfortable in talking things out. The other thing is to never go to sleep angry with each other – work things out before retiring or things will not be much better in the morning.
