That sounds like an emotional journey. I really feel like at some point we do have to decide to close the door. I was expecting it just to happen but it doesn't and I think for me I am physically going to have to slam it shut! Even then it takes time to grieve over.
I'm really glad you have found someone lovely in NG and I'm sad that XH could step up to the plate. I think though, like V_H says, be prepared that one day he may come knocking on the door, you're fabulous after all
