Like I said, I've never been happier at any time in my life, and its not just because I was able to walk away from my frustratingly Dilbertesque job. I think in most cases a divorce isn't a sad thing once its done and in the past. Except maybe for the kids, depending on what things were like before.
I'm glad you've had 10 very happy years post divorce! Long may it continue.
