Just be thankful you didn't waste 10 or 20+ years of your life with her.

Look at the silver lining, you are free now to do/plan for your life and hopefully find someone better suited to you. Cheers

My first anniversary after her cheating and discard was 3 days and 2 years ago.

The first one I was out of the country and determined to make this day about something else more positive with what I had. So it became my Annual Dessert Day. No holds barred, desserts, in my face all day, every year because fuck her, this is my day!

So, naturally, for the next two anniversaries I didn't remember until the day after.

It may be a tough day but it's not going to be next year or the year after that; every day will be a little better. And like another poster at least you didn't waste 30 years of your life and then trying to find a new one while you're 50 or 60.

I feel you. I went through our 13th anniversary while still in divorce proceedings and at this rate might hit our 14th before we settle.

It does get easier little by little. Be kind to yourself and feel the feels. You got this.

Your 4th Anniversary is your Fruits & Flowers Anniversary. Seriously. It's the traditional gift. You've no doubt heard of a "Silver Anniversary" at the 25th year and a "Diamond Anniversary" at the 60th year. Well, it's not quite as prestigious, but the 4th year is Fruits & Flowers.

It's a Friday. Tonight after work, invite a trusted male friend out for some drinks. Leave the wife at home. Order a Hemingway Special or an Absolut Crush (fruits). Then order a Lilac lemon fizz or a Martini Rose or a frozen hibiscus margarita (flowers).

Give these gifts to yourself. Have a toast with every drink. Shed a tear if you must, but promise yourself that, at your Fifth Anniversary, life will be sunshine and blue skies.

If you have no close male friends, I'm available. I'm going out drinking tonight anyway. Will raise a glass to you, internet stranger.

Heartache is tough. Wish you the best.

Go do something fun! You'll make it though.

Fuk her. That's all you need to tell yourself.
