Thanks for the kind words and suggestions.

It's amazing how you can be feeling fine, and then some small thing - seeing a happy couple in the supermarket, a commercial, or an episode of a sitcom - can send you into a wave of sadness. I no longer like to watch "Two and a Half men" because of the number of episodes in which they deal with the younger brother's situation w/his wife. One thing I noticed is that song lyrics seem more pointed.

Someone suggested I watch "Swingers" because is it is a classic comedy, and as soon as I realized that the main character has MY name and that the woman who dumped him has MY WIFE'S name, I couldn't enjoy the flick any more. I switched to "Dodgeball." Not as erudite, but less likely to bring forth bad memories - except from gym class ;-)

This process may be normal, but it sure hurts like hell sometimes.
