but my ex-husband and I were together 14 years--married 10 of them when he decided he wanted a divorce. Didn't even want to discuss it. He dumped me for a woman he met in an Internet chat room. They married 2 wks after our divorce was final.

My ex and I wanted kids, but I couldn't get pregnant and he decided to look elsewhere. I said we could adopt, but he wanted a natural child, so that was one of the main reasons he dumped me. Funny thing is, the woman he married is older than I am and had grown children. I doubt whether she was going to get pregnant again...of course I could be wrong.

I'm actually glad that we didn't have kids because I wouldn't have wanted them involved in the nastiness that followed. I was hurt and angry for along time after-wards. As much as I love kids I'm twice as happy now since the Shrub took over because this isn't a world I would want them to live in.

I have noticed an increase in divorces. Unfortunately, I think the current divorce rate is ALL due to Bush. The job losses, the cuts in health care, the rise in food, fuel, medicine...everything is all his fault. The pressures most families are feeling are driving them crazy and it is tearing them apart.

I walked away with myself, a few items and my dog, Sheridan, who is my best friend.
