Hey brothers,

Tomorrow I am having a Super Bowl Party. A party in which 11 people (guys and gals) have RSVPed. 11 people that I didn’t know before my stbx gave up on our marriage. I’m 51 and thanks to the advice on here and the contributions of others stories, I committed to putting myself out there. I knew it wasn’t going to be easy but putting in the effort has paid off. We moved to this city for her job and I knew no one. I was focused on her happiness and not my own. Now, I’m starting to forge my own life, focused on making myself happy. I went to boxing this morning, came home and straightened up the place for the party, made a meatloaf for tonite, gonna pour myself a drink and watch some basketball.

Keep working on you. It will pay off. Believe in yourself and just keep fucking going.

Cheers brothers, hope you all have a great rest of the weekend and thank you.
