clearing the deck - the marriage status thread

Consigliere said

I've had friends in the same boat who said the same thing - but I don't get it - I think I would want a new one - but I haven't been there so can't really say.

Anyway, sorry to hear it, but I sense you are the kind of person who can find joy in tough times.

I know a handful of people both men & women (in their late 40’s/early 50’s) who are recently divorced (like within the last 2 years) after decades of marriage. Every single one of them immediately set out to fork a bunch of people and/or jump immediately into a new serious relationship/force a serious relationship with the first willing victim.

All nice people but man are they so lost. Not a single one has taken the time to be single and really just focus on who they are as a single person, what they actually like to do, etc. They cannot be alone. Everything they do is motivated by finding someone of the opposite sex. It’s really tragic to watch grown arsed people behave the way they do.

Sorry to hear about your marriage, Guido.
