My Life Didn't Suck Without You

Looking back for the past year since I walked out my failed marriage to an useless jerk, my life had improved. Sure, I did hit rock bottom when the marriage ended in divorce, but, soon after, I bounced back to start my life anew, I am seeing improvements to my self-worth and self-esteem.
Achievements post-divorce:
1) I made it through my degree and graduated with distinctions.
2) I found someone who treasures me more than anything else.
3) My temper also improved due to my better outlook of life.
4) I have more true friends and wider social circle.
5) My bf and I enjoy double dates with friends and their bfs.
6) My bf and I are planning for our future as a couple rather than as an individual.
7) My life is more enriched with things that I had missed out.
8) I am enjoying my freedom to do whatever I want, whenever I want. I have a supportive bf, who understands my need for fun and freedom.
9) I am exploring new places overseas and locally, without being told that certain places are 'far', or '无聊' .
10) I am constantly reminded that life is good without my ex-husband, even minor details of my life has improved.
11) The relationship between my parents and I have slightly improved.

Of course I am also facing some problems post-divorce, which includes:
1) Societal reaction when people knows that I am a divorcee with a bf.
2) Parents being more strict with my current bf and having difficulties accepting that I am attached  again.
3) Mocking statements made by back-stabbing and gossipy colleagues of my divorce and how my character may be associated to the end of the marriage.

Comparing the above, it still proves to me that not contesting to the divorce with him was the right decision for me. I just hope that my next marriage would not end up with a divorce again but no one can gurantee anything and seriously, only time can prove if the next marriage will work out well... Like what my aunt once said to me, '人 suay 一次就好, 不会suay多一次。If really suay again, then 认命 .'

With that statement from her, I took the gamble to fall in love again and am fighting all odds to make this current relationship accepted by my parents.  Tough fight, but I just hope it would be worth the effort.
