I'm looking to move in with my (vegan) girlfriend, which will mean I'll have less contact with my children. It's a terrible thing having to choose, and my ex is guilt-tripping me, but I don't see why I should be alone for the rest of my life, because the ex has chosen to leave and taken my children away.

Clearly 'lifestyle' differences can often play a part in why people go their separate ways, but even if we share similar interests, our modern society and the way the media portrays relationships (movies creating the aspiration for a 'fairy tale' coupling with the 'hero' groom, whilst celebs help to foster a contrasting 'throw away' divorce culture) doesn't help.

Thank you for telling us your story Cascadian, good to hear that things are amicable and you get to see your kids on a regular basis.

Hello All,

 My story:

 My ex & I have been separated for coming up on 3 years after about 11 years together. We only legally married for our kids benefit and have not yet legally divorced. That said, I do not see us getting together again & it is generally better for all involved that we no longer live together, etc.

 My ex is vegan & all around a great person. Same goes for our kids. While things have plenty of room to improve, we've had no major issues arise from the separation. I share time with my kids at least a couple of days a week & they live just about a mile away.

Welcome Amy and Michael, thank you both for sharing.

Like you Michael, I miss my babies (handsome son of 6 and gorgeous daughter of 3)... though I currently have fairly good contact with them, it still hurts whenever I'm separated from them (I was a stay at home dad).

I thought about this group for a while but decided to join. been divorced for 15 yrs now and generally I have been alone since with just couple short~term
"girlfriends". I have 2 children ~22 yr old boy and almost 16 yr old girl. I haven't seen them in 15 yrs and it still is hard to deal with it. They live few 1.000's of miles away from me and I lost parental rights to them as an effect of me wanting the divorce. None of them are anything veg and my diet is a great source of their disrespect towards me. I only blame their mother turning them against me. I know that someday I'll see them again but when only universe knows.

I never was bitter and never will be, only hurts sometimes , that's all. I miss my babies.......................

thanks for support group..............................

My husband of nearly five years and I are getting separated right now actually.  We have two children, 5 and 3 and I'm moving back in with my mother for a while.  I've been a stay at home mom for a while and everything is just... 

My ex... or whatever he is right now, isn't a veg-anything.  He is a hunter, his dad is a cattle rancher .... he changed so dramatically that I feel like I've been living with a stranger. So... there's that.

I nearly jumped for joy when I saw that this group was on here.  Nice to not feel so alone out here.

Sorry to hear of your troubles Heidi. It is the children caught up in broken relationships that I feel most sorry for. Even if one gets over the loss of one's partner, a child will be emotionally scared for life. Unfortunately expectations nowadays are too high for most people to live up to...

I separated from my husband in October, 2008 (married early 2006), I've have an incredibly awesome son (3), also vegan. My ex was not veg but was pro-veg, and liked all the crazy stuff I made. I know most likely I'll marry again someday, but for now, I can't get my head around it. When I had put so much into a relationship and it didn't work, I can't figure how I'd want to do it all over again. I feel totally disillusioned with love. *sigh* ex-naive person right >here/body>
