Don't give up hope. There are many, many good and decent women out there. The most important thing is to not surrender to anger or hatred. I know that sounds like Psycho-goo, but it's simply the truth. Find the things that you valued all along and focus on those things, like God, family and friends. Healing will come.

Sorry to blather, but I've seen this happen before. It's not the end, and it's no reason to condemn all women over one bad apple.

Caipirabob- thanks for your comment and I have to second it. Fido969- how long have you been divorced? It sounds like it might be a bit recent? I am in the final stages of a divorce from a man that basically left me for no good reason and started dating a 42 year old mother of two (he is 29, I am 30.) Sometimes what people do doesnt make sense, but that does not condemn their gender.

I do not think all men are bad just because of my experience- I think guys are great as a whole- and I am very blessed to have some wonderful ones in my life that add to it immensely. And while there is not much too that a man can do that I can't do (I will admit to being a complete dunce about anything that requires tools LOL), I still want a man in my life again eventually and that is not all about sex either. There's something intrinsicly unique in the nature of a relationship with a member of the opposite gender that you can't get in the friendship of someone of the same gender. So-- long live the good guys. :-) Have hope, Fido, and don't let it turn you bitter.
