Mishka,

I'm going to be tactless and say "Congratulations!" You are going to have a great life. And I was pretty darn turned off by your X. His wimpiness combined with his so-insecure GF remind me just a little too much of XH.

I recommend you find a party tonight in a chat room and have a drink. DB doesn't have a chatroom anymore. But you might be able to find some friends nonetheless. If you look at the facebook dbers or at another site where some people hang out, you might be able to find some peeps to chat with. I think it is on Cat's current thread.

Finally, recognize how well you are doing. Think about the beginning of all this. If someone told you that on D-day you might "cry for an hour off and on" but otherwise functioning, doing chores, taking Marc to karate, and even smiling and laughing, would you have believed it? Yes, it hurts, but you aren't being buried by it. You can breathe. You can smile. You can think about tomorrow. You are doing great \:D


Best,
Oldtimer
