I, too, know what you mean by making comparisons. I did the same thing when I was dating while H and I were still S'ed. I used to sometimes think to myself, "Now THIS is what a R is supposed to be like. Mutual respect and honest, open communication. Listening, validating, and caring."
Anyway, probably not the best thing to do, but hey, it happens, so it's ok.
Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward. ~ Joseph Campbell
