Plus: My parents took my cheating husband’s side, and it hurt me a lot.
Although I have the ring, for some reason I can’t decide how, where or when I am going to propose. Because of the way my marriage ended, I feel terrible guilt for even thinking about asking someone to marry me.
I know he regrets asking for the divorce, as he’ll make passing comments to that effect when we speak. I brush it off, but I can’t brush off this guilt I’m carrying for moving on. Am I wrong? Are these thoughts normal?feel guilty for moving on? It doesn’t seem to me like you have moved on very far. My son and I lost our home, our car and the life we knew without support from any family. My son was still in high school, and it was a dark time in both of our lives.
Having to go through what I did with only the support of my friends and son made me stronger, and I have moved on.
