I have been very fortunate to have been married to three wonderful men, one currently, and yes, it is my best relationship ever.
I have never had a bad relationship, although some were better than others. In every case we parted friends and there has never been a harsh word between any of my former boyfriends or lovers. They are all wonderful guys.

I guess I was just lucky that way.

How can you say you've never had a bad relationship, if your first two marriages ended in divorce?
Not passing judgment, we have a lot in common. I've been married two other times myself. They both went bad, of course, but for opposite reasons. My first one ended because though there was plenty of friendship there was not enough electricity. My second, because there was so much electricity it self-destructed.
That's a very interesting statement. I'd like to hear more, if you're inclined to elaborate.
I will share a brief outline, without going into too much detail.
I first joined CD in Sept 2009, a few days before I asked my husband for a divorce. Our marriage was always very strong (not perfect) in every way imagineable, up until our second son was diagnosed with Special Needs, over 6 years ago.
Somewhere around that time, we stopped functioning as a unit and more as if on parallel tracks and sometimes on opposing ones, never meeting. The lines of communication just evaporated. The sense that we were in it together no longer existed and as far as I felt, he was no longer open to discussing and resolving anything. I felt very alone. The disconnect was so deep and hurtful that I could no longer bear the stress of it and felt that I would literally die if we didn't separate.
The days after I asked for the divorce were the hardest days in our marriage, but also the most liberating. For the first time in years we talked and cried and just laid it all on the line. We had to adjust to the new realities of our lives and that the goals we originally set for ourselves needed to cahnge. We made it back from the abyss I think and so far so good.
