It was really hard to take watching the person I had been with for three decades do a complete 180 and start to marginalize my role in her life. After she asked for divorce I didn't sleep for about three months and was in the worst period of my life. Slowly things got better and better as the months went by and I've accepted my new path in life and realized that it's not the end of the world. I'm generally (today's political situation drags it down a bit) as happy today as I was pre-marriage problems. Just keep your chin up and live for the present rather than looking back at the past and what you think you lost as you have gained a new beginning with so many new possibilities. I don't consider myself the strongest person mentally because of my lifelong anxiety issues so if I can put my life back together, I think it's something that a lot of people can do.
