I have just started the whole process, but it has been said to me before by a good friend. When you are married and alone, there is no light to be seen at the end. But when you make the decision to go it alone at least you are alone with the potential for happiness! I just like the fact that if I do some cleaning or whatever...there is no criticizing or verbal throwing up. I do not have to measure up to someone else standards. I love the FREEEEEEDOM to live MY live and not my other half.
