Her attacks hurt and sting, but they haven't yet hardened my heart - and I'm not sure I understand why this hasn't occurred.
From my experience and observations of people on here, it seems pretty typical that the heart doesn't harden. Even in people that happily move on with someone else, it still does seem as though the LBS actually gets a hardened heart. It can't be because all these walk-aways were so wonderful....so it must be the nature of being dumped allows one to put on the ol' rose colored glasses. If anything, the dumper has more anger, even years down the line, than the one dumped. Go figure.
