It Just Doesn't Matter

I am not a counselor, psychologist or lawyer. But I have been through two divorces and come out the other side intact, as far as I can tell. My first marriage was short and sweet! We were both much too young and soon drifted apart as our interests changed. No property, no money, no children, no hassle!

After a marriage that lasted for over twenty years, the second divorce was much more traumatic. Breaking up later in life brings its own set of problems and worries, including pensions, alimony, property, and children. In "It Just Doesn't Matter", I offer suggestions and a road map to beginning an exciting new life after divorce, based on my own experiences.

Divorce does not need to be the end of life. For me, it was a new beginning with a new future I could never have imagined in my wildest dreams. Within a few years of my breakup, I had moved from rural Canada to urban China, and most recently, northern Thailand. For the last decade I have been living an exciting life of work, travel and wonderful experiences with a new partner.

I will encourage you to forget your ex, follow your heart and move on to live your dreams. You, too, can create a new future for yourself and those around you. The world as you knew it may be over but you have yet to find out what the future holds. It might surprise you!
