Nothing like being with people youโve known almost your entire life. Having a shared history is something you just canโt create with the new ones. No matter how much you like that, it just isnโt the same.
Jane GreenWhen I'm single, I'm this fabulous, independent, confident woman, and then I get involved with one disastrous man after another and I turn into this needy, insecure, fearful girl who becomes frightened of her own shadow.
Jane GreenJules has always been one of those women that men go crazy about because she has enough self-confidence to say this is me, take it or leave it. And, invariably, they take it. Or at least try to. They love the fact that she doesnโt wear makeup. That her clothes, on her tiny, petite frame, are a mishmash of whatever she happens to pull out of the wardrobe that morning. That her laugh is huge and infectious, and, most of all, that she listens. She loves life, and people, and makes time for them, and even before Jamie came along men were forever falling in love with her.
Jane GreenI am divorced, and one of the things I am tremendously grateful for is that my ex-husband and I made a decision to go through mediation. I knew a trial would drag on for years, would cost me everything, but worse, would be devastating for our four small children.
Jane GreenMarriage should be about fun,โ she says gently. โItโs about friendship, and laughter, and trust, and fun. If itโs not fun, if you take it all too seriously, whatโs the point? You know Iโve been with Andy for fifteen years, and the reason it still works is because heโs my best friend and he still makes me laugh. Admittedly, not all the time, and often we get completely bogged down in work, and the kids, and life, but heโs still the person I most want to phone when anything happens in life, and heโs still the person who makes me laugh the most.
