plus I think your path is still the same whether he is in MLC or a WAS.....your path is the same...just one day at a time...and dont worry how long it takes for you to not think about him all the time.....but make an effort...one day you will see him..your heart wont be completely broken...and you will think wow I spent al this time hurting over him...he is just an imperfect man ( one that you love ) but it will hit you one day....take care of you, treat yourself good. Here is a small example. I used to always make sure my H was dressed nice, meaning, I bought his clothes...I thought he liked it....but the man looked sharp for work....after we seperated and some time went by I saw him dressed for a special event...and I would have never put that outfit on him ( I certainly hope OW didnt). Anyway , to go back...now for my clothes...I had only a few nice things...I was alwasy spending my time dressing him.......what the heck...Now I spend the that time on me, cant afford as much as I would like now. But hey I dont have only 5 work outfits anymore and 2 pair of work shoes....( I lost count how many shoes I have now) Anyway just one way I put the focus on me....and yes he made comments about how I didnt dress well.....it was true when I looked at it...i had the old sweats for after work, a few work outfits and that was it.....what was I thinking....anyway....now I have lots of purses too. My only point here is start taking care of you!
