Hope and heartache

[ClingingToHope]

I get so frustrated with people on this board that come in desperate to save their marriages, and so in love with their spouses - then all of a sudden a weird thing happens where they find peace, and strength, and are in charge, and sure enough, you find out some girl or guy swept onto the scene and made them feel all right about themselves.

They learned nothing! Someone does not complete you - you should offer a person a complete person.

I see what you are saying. What has been so difficult for me is that I've never lived alone. I lived with my mom after college until I moved in with three friends. I stayed there until meeting my W and moving in with her.

I really miss the end of day conversation and just waking up next to somebody.

I was talking to the leader of my marriage rebuilders class at church and he said it took him three years, three years!, before he felt he'd totally lost all feelings for his ex.

I can't imagine feeling like this for that long.
