Ask Pat
I’m Pat Gaudette, the founder of Friends and Lovers the Relationships Guide as well as The Midlife Club. I was also the Divorce Support Guide for About.com for over nine years.
I’ve been divorced twice and happily married to my third husband since 1995. When I married the first time I expected to be married for my lifetime, but some things aren’t acceptable regardless of the marriage vows.
After my second marriage ended in divorce in 1992, I turned my business focus to relationship issues with an emphasis on dating, divorce, and midlife crisis, because all were major factors in my personal growth.
I believe there’s a rhyme and reason for most relationship endings, whether it’s a spouse who leaves home or an employer who decides your services are no longer necessary. As traumatic as these may be, they also give us the opportunity to develop resources within ourselves that will help us to become even stronger in the face of future adversity. Continue reading
