Sorry but glad you are back!

How do you like DC? I was thinking about moving there once I'm done with school.

CupofDog · 09-30-2008, 03:21 PM

DC is great. I grew up right outside the city - and relocated back due to the split - but I have to say, I found an apartment and a job rather easily. Because almost everything is affected by the government, the area is pretty recession proof, making it a nice respite from the economic state of the rest of the US! Let me know if you are thinking of coming down!

smoop · 09-30-2008, 03:22 PM

Good luck! Stay strong!

Things happen for a reason, we might just not know it now

Thanks Paula! I have to say - they are keeping me going. I am joining all sorts of local small dog meetup groups to meet other dog lovers - just taking one day at a time and focusing on the pooches! I have to say, because of Louis and Ella Bean, my bed hasn't felt as empty as it would otherwise feel...So in the future - no man better try and come between me and my furkids! They are the best!

I start my new job next week (blech) but I also think that will be good to distract me.

CupofDog · 09-30-2008, 04:12 PM

Oh - and I thought everyone should know:

the jerk let me know by EMAIL that he filed for divorce - disconnected all numbers and then FLED the country and got his citizenship in Israel so he wasn't financially accountable for anything.

AFTER I SPENT THE LAST YEAR LIVING WITH AND CARING FOR HIS PARENTS!!! Then, the entire family, parents included, stopped returning calls, emails etc.

I would be honest if I did something to deserve it - but all I tried to do was love each and every one of them...

MEN!

I am only 25 though, so I am hoping my youth will help me bounce back quickly. Its just so hard when you are still completely in love with such a massive poop-head.

Stella's mom · 09-30-2008, 04:30 PM

Sounds like you have control of things girl....yard and dog park...I'm sure the furbutts are gonna love it. Sorry about the husband, sometimes they can be real t**ds. You're in my thoughts and prayers

spr377 · 09-30-2008, 04:39 PM

So sorry about your husband!! What a shmuck!!! As you said.....youth is on your side.....you have your whole life ahead of you!! I'm glad things are going well for you in DC. Best of luck in your new endeavors

autumn star · 09-30-2008, 04:46 PM

I just wanted to make sure I got back onto YT - I have relocated to the D.C. area and am setting up a new home for me and the furbabies.

I just want to thank everyone on YT for being there for me as the last year has been rough, capped off with this trauma. I am confident we will get back on our paws and make a wonderful fresh start!

Hang in there, men can be pigs trust me I know ! I'm new here on YT and if you need someone to talk to I'm here. Your babies will help you get through the rough spots. Just remember, women are way more tough than guys !

CupofDog · 09-30-2008, 05:51 PM

Thank you, thank you, thank you! And one more thing - everyone should know while I got a great job and a brand new apartment - my ex is living on his Grandmother's couch! HAH!

Still it is so painful and the YT support is so, so, so appreciated.

Hello Cupofdog... God made Yorkies for times such as what you are going through...dogs giveTRUE unconditional love and teaches us about forgiveness and appreciation. How many times have our dogs forgiven us over and over again and who but our dog's greet us with such glee EACH AND EVERY TIME THEY SEE US RETURN!!? You will be fine because you have those Yorkies to help you focus and move on!! Keep on talking to your friends at YorkieTalk, we'll help you go thru this hard time.

God bless you!
