Three years and two days since XW and I split initially. To say that I'm sad would be the understatement of my lifetime. I've got a ton of other 'stuff' going wrong in my life right now, but I'm confident that 'things' will look brighter sooner rather than later. I believe putting some distance between XW and I will help.
I was talking with my mom tonight and she rarely speaks out on her feelings about XW, but tonight she did. Mom simply said, "XW's simply not a good person. As a matter of fact, she's a bad person." I can't say that I blame my mom, nor that I think she's wrong, I'm just sad that I haven't seen for so long what is readily evident to everyone who knows me and XW. Perhaps, as my best friend put it, we are just a bad match. I'm just unclear how I could be so emotionally stuck on her and have her turn out to be the kind of person that she is rather than the person I made her out to be in my mind. Sad. But life goes on, as do I...letting go.
