Divorce at 45: I Will Be Happy. And You?

At forty-five, I have a hormonal disruption. I gain weight and can’t look at myself in the mirror without tears. I’m sure my husband will support me through this difficult period. We’ve been married for more than twenty years, our home is a full cup, we have two grown children. But instead of support, my husband says he’s fallen out of love with me, and on the eve of Christmas he leaves for a young lover.

Half a year later, I see my former self in the mirror again. And even prettier! It turns out that at forty-five life only begins. I became happy despite everything. And you—are you happy with your younger one?
