Hey MEA you "sound" great. Your "4 years on" caught my eye as it will be 4 years since the Big D on Thursday for me. It's great to be able to look back after 4 years and see how far we've come. Like you, I cannot say the same for my xw. I was a bit off schedule today, and because of same, by sheer coincidence was within a few hundred feet of my x and I got a good look at x (she didn't observe me). It's very very sad to see what's left of someone you onced shared a life with and believed you were going to be with until the end. I too have no bitterness nor anger toward her. Life goes on for us survivors. May yours continue to unfold in positive ways.
