They choose the colors for the nursery.
They design all the aspects of their married life.
A real person stands no chance of measuring up to those fantasies.

Move on and let go.
Life can be joyful and rewarding again.

especially if your marriage had lasted many years.

No matter how painful, divorce, like all endings,
opens the door to new beginnings.
