re: For those that thought divorce would be awesome..

Be sure you can handle seeing your ex with a new man and with your kids. This will happen. Even though he will never be "Dad", they will still love him. Kinda a kick in the teeth. If you can work it out, do your best. I didn't and sometimes wish I did. My divorce was 16 years ago. Still wish I had done more to try and make it work.
