My name is Pam. I was married for twenty years and am now divorced. I am engaged to be married this March 25th. I have known my fiance for eight years, we live about 3 minutes away from each other. He was married for 25 years and has been sep/divorced for five years now. He has one daughter engaged to be married this fall and lives in NYC. I have two sons, one will be going to college next year and one is in 7th grade.
Bob and I have pursued counseling (individual and couples) for three years each. We are always working on our relationship. We did not want to fall into the 85% statistic of second marriages that fail. Our counselors have been with us every step of the way, and are very encouraging and supportive of our plans.
I am here, because we do hit dips in our relationship and even though I know that is normal, it scares me. We are just recovering from one. Anyway, I am here for advice and maybe I can add a little.
