Hello ya'll! I've registered today, I've been to this site before, but it was a long time ago, before these new forums. Anyway, I'm having some serious thinkings, I just can't get it off my mind. I'm divorced, or will be, very soon. My H is involved with someone else, and we've been seperated for a year or so. I'm thinking a lot about what ...
