For me....having a kid young has caused me to view the age milestones differently.

I can understand that now. before DD, I ALWAYS said I would NEVER look older than I actually was. But now I think its no big. Its just so weird how "age views" have changed a TON for me now.

thats actually exactly same thing thats happening here. H is "bothered" because thats the way it is with us, and I think thats why he asked for a divorce. he wants to be "25." I on the ther hand, am completely satisfied with being a mother, even if it is this young! 

ahh sorry, I think I rambled.

I divorced my ex when I was 19/20 after 2yrs4mths of marriage.  My ex also wanted to sew his oats/act his age. It was the best thing that ever happened.  I have a life that I could have never had without him.  Just hold  ur head high and know that whatever happen things will work themselves out.

Actually....his exact words were.."I wanted to try something new."

Almost the same thing with me. I have now been with DH for 8 years. It is cliche, but everything happens for a reason.

You seem to have a positive outlook, and that will do wonders to help you.

Yup and grabbing every minute of that 2nd chance is what matters.  Finishing school was key for me.

yeah, I have a pretty positive outlook. things have been rough for SOOOO long though, so Its easy to see there being better. trust me, I have LOTS of rough days & nights though..
