Hi Sara, I just snooped in my W's Facebook account and found the following message to one of OM's friends:
Hi, Yes I am the ex-girlfriend of OM but we may be getting back together soon. He is coming to Australia next month and I will be his tour guide! He is very excited about flying on the new Singapore Airlines jumbo jet - it is the largest in the world. All the best, W
I think this tells me what I need to know about this marriage i.e. that it is a pathetic excuse of one. I feel like such an unbelievable fool. I have been buying her many gifts trying to speak her love language, taking her on trips and it has all been for nothing. Utterly worthless. A complete joke.
I need to accept that my wife is no longer in love with me and that what we had was wonderful, but it's history now. Since we have no kids or a home I cannot see any reason to stay in touch either, particularly if she is with someone else.
I sense that I am about to be overcome with grief in an enormous way - I know that this marriage has no future and that life as I know it is about to come to an end. I must accept this and get to work somehow in putting a new life together. I do not know where to start and feel lost and helpless - all I can do is take comfort in the knowledge that others have survived searing crises like these.
