Sure she won't be your MIL anymore, but you do not have to lose the R you have with her.
She says that we will always be friends. H has a big problem with my relationship with his mom...just because he doesn't want to be with me, doesn't mean ILs don't. Like you said, I've been through hell and she has been there for me every step of the way...she will always be a part of my life...H is just going to have to get over it.

By his own doing, he is losing you. Who wouldn't be miserable?
Yeah, it must suck to know that you lost the best thing that ever happened to you because of your ego and pride...I'd be miserable too.

Just do not settle this time. Know what you want and how you deserve to be treated. You will find someone.
Okay...no settling...I'm going to find me a nice guy this time. I better say that every day so it sinks in. I do need to learn to stand for what I believe in and know that I deserve to be treated well. It probably all goes back to being "too nice"...sounds like something else I should discuss with IC. Hopefully, if I get into a healthy relationship, I will see what it is like to not give and give and give and really get nothing in return. I need to learn that you shouldn't have to walk around on eggshells and bend over backwards all the time. That sure sounds like a horrible way to live when it's written in black and white...but I'm afraid that is the way that I have lived for my entire adult life. Maybe I'm starting to see a reason all this happened?
