Perhaps the side-effect of expansion of one's experiences in life is not just a change of perspective, not just a change in attitude, but also a change in values. In many ways I don't feel different, though.
I have been out of marriage for 3 years now, and life is simply better. I have activity and a social life in the form of playing soccer. I have met and had relationships with many women. Each relationship has given me something to think about, and has affected me one way or another. I'd like to think that knowing more and experiencing more is a positive thing. I'm certainly less negative and paranoid than I was in my married years.
I may be more selfish, or I may just see my selfish tendencies in a different light now.
I am in two relationships, one that supposedly ended, and one that I was supposedly going to end. And yet, both relationships give me something, some bit of happiness, joy, and/or hope that makes me unwilling to follow what any reasonable attempt at logic says I should do.
I apparently am leaving whatever problems I am causing for my future me to sort out.
Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
I used to never act, never live, because I didn't want consequences.
I guess what I've learned is that the actual consequences aren't as bad as I've worried they would be.
