WOW!! Thank you everyone for you kind words. I am happy to share my story with everyone... if it helps one person, than it has fulfilled its purpose.

I'm still doing great and enjoying my life. Traci and I are enjoying our time together and we both can't stop smiling. We make it a point to have time to ourselves as well... to do the things that make us happy. It is important for a person to have there time... to reflect... to appreciate... to renew themselves.

Just a quick update. Traci and I are doing better than ever and she asked me to move in. I am happier than I have ever been.

Very glad your doing well. A good example of finding happiness after a break up.

Talaniman... you are the best... you say it like it is. I agree... she is a Maverick all right!

SDjosh... my advice to you is give her all the space she needs... and remember what she said"she misses you when you are gone". Think about that... Good Luck!

This is not the same woman that I was with for 7 years.

I'm in a new relationship or rather have been for the last 11 months. Everything has been wonderful. Even through the hard times we have found a way to communicate, understand, support, and move forward. I am thankful for my previous relationship that failed... because I have learned from it. I... like many on this board thought I had lost my world, but this new relationship proved that you honestly don't know what you have been missing till it arrives.

Everyone who reads this understand that you can't stop moving forward with your own life. We all have highs and lows. Even through the best of times we all fall... we all fail. "ALL" of us. You are not alone. But you have to keep moving forward... with each step... answers are being found.

You are soooo right! Good luck in your new relationship

Congratulations dear, you've come a long way, considering that your original post is a year old... you've learned a lot about yourself.

Great for you... and great for those who come here for advice and get some more insight from you that not all is lost.

Wish you all the best in your life!

Darn,, feel so lost without my Smilies...

Who are you talking about? Have you even read my story? I have moved on from that past relationship but learned from it. I'm with someone new and completely happy.

I read the entire post and I have to say that I am taking your story as means to help with my situation after a tough break up. Thank you very much for all of your postings. This has given me hope that I will find someone else in the future if I move on and work on myself. The rollercoaster ride of emotions after a break up is so intense, but you have proven that if you stay strong and stay positive, that things will work out in the end. Well done and thanks again.

This is just amazing! I love this story! It's not Disney, it's real life! A real love story! Even if this ends, I'm sure he knows there will always be something better and he has his own life to reflect upon! As I said above, this is AMAZING!!

One question... Is Traci and Jane the same woman? Or is it the 2nd girl you speak of? If it's someone different altogether, then you are a mac daddy!!

Traci is a different woman altogether. I am happy to say that we were married recently and very happy.

Hi Sdjosh, Congratulations for the wedding, and also for such an amazing journey through your life so far.
I am very interested to know how well your friendship with your ex work out since then? How is she doing?

Much happiness through your life, Sdjosh and thanks for sharing, and giving us a great example of keeping it real, and moving forward.

I have reread my post and feel so much stronger and wiser.

I am happy to tell you that I have been married over a year and 5 months. We seem to be more in love everyday. We both have been through bad past relationships and we know to appreciate each other everyday. I am soooo Happy!

I hope that who ever reads this understand that life is crazy. We all go through heart ache but you have to keep moving forward. You have to keep trying... because there is no other way to be happy. Give... Get... and Live Love.

Thank you for being there for me... all of you.

Josh
