Hey FB2, if this is the bandaid, at least it stops the bleeding. You are probably right about the "occasions" but I am hopeful that they will slide as opposed to sticking like they have done in the past. The hurt and anger can't last forever...is this what I envisioned 10 - 15 years ago? No, but i'll be damned if i will let one single person (my XW) on this great earth control my happiness. i feel sorry for XW but no longer feel sorry for myself. i know that i can be happy (maybe even happier) without her in my life. She made choices. i happen to think they are wrong choices. if you talk to her i am not sure she would agree with me. Time will tell...but i am not sitting around waiting....And time waits for no one, and it won't wait for me....
