While at the insurance agent's office today I ran into an old high school classmate. While talking to him he said, You're not married are you?" I said," No you know I got divorced and I haven't remarried". He said, "I can tell." I asked how he knew. He said, "Because you're smiling." I looked at him puzzled and said, "Yes I do smile now that I'm divorced, and I rarely smiled while I was married." He said that's because I had the three rings. "Three rings", I asked? "Yes", he said.
The first ring you get is an engagement ring.
The second ring you get is a wedding ring.
The third ring you get is suffe-r-i-n-g.
I had to laugh as I walked out the door.

I rarely smiled while I was married
Why would you marry someone who didn't help you smile more ?

Good question Jim. I did smile in the beginning. But, he changed and my smiles left with his former self!

Maybe if he would have given you a few more "rings" you wouldn't have gotten divorced...like
nurturing
caring
sharing

Beachcrete...How can some men be so different than others? My ex still probably hasn't figured out that he didn't provide any of those. I honestly think that he thinks that he shouldn't have to.

Great blog - kudos! 
When I split from my husband and was still in the stages of transformation I was told I had "the look". I was stressed, worn down, not knowing where to turn and the only comfort was that I was no longer in this relationship. In time the look lifted and was replaced by a smile - I now see "the look" on other people, it's easier to recognise on others than on your own face.

Angel.....I spent three months in the summer in my house like an Ostrich with it's head in the sand. I kept thinking why me and crying. My girlfriend would call and say let's go out. I said I don't want to plus I have swollen eyes. I kept moaning and groaning to my boys until they finally said mom we've heard this all many times before. Get over it and move on. That kinda woke me up. It ws like no body wanted to hear it anymore. So I moved on. I faced reality and haven't looked back. I ditched my mini van and got a red sportscar to go with my new attitude!!!!

I've realised most people will only sympathise for so long. I'm sure I'm the same. If we keep saying the same things over and over and people don't change, in time we drift away from them. I guess your kids mean so much to you, you sat up and listened. We all need a time to grieve, that's how it should be and you should be proud of the new you and the car to go with it. Sounds like a winning combination.

Oh Red....The sportscar wasn't all I did. I wanted customized plates. Something to say freebird, freedom, I'm free. They were all taken so I was at the license bureau and I said darn. I want something free. I asked, what about freelady. It wasn't taken so I got a plate that said Frelady. The ex saw it but didn't say a word...darn him!!! But I had fun with it. my neighbors asked if I was advertising prostitution? I said it wouldn't be free then would it??? LOL Truckers kept honking at me. A guy who I started to date sometimes drove my car when we went out. Guys would see the license plate and catch up next to us and look over. They's see this guy with longer hair and the thickest mustache you could ever imagine and take off like a bat out of hell...LOL Probably thinking that was the ugliest chick they'd ever seen. My boyfriend would say get rid of those plates but I thought it was funny. Then when I first got them my son who is 6.3 and had his own corvette was driving my car. He pulls in the drive way and goes behind the car and sees the plates. He comes into the house exclaiming that he's been driving a car with chick plates on it. I laughed. He didn't drive my car after that. I kept them for a year until the novelty wore off.

Angel....I agree. But when you're going through it you just want a sympathetic ear. You just don't realize that you're whinning their ear off until someone "slaps" some sense into you. I raised my boys to be upfront and direct. They are too. We can talk about anything. Even dating mine and theirs. How cool is that. I'm not telling all my secrets though...LOL I'm sure they aren't either.
