Can you say more?

Again, the work you've done is supposed to be for you. You don't fall apart now. You stay strong and you stay rational. That doesn't mean you can't beat the sh*t out of a pillow but if you revert to some hostile, aggressive version of yourself, then this has all been for nothing.

I can stop the hurt by deciding to move on. Right? I'm not angry. I don't want to hit anything. I'm sad and hurt and disappointed. I shouldn't ne married to someone who's seeing another man. It's not right. And I shouldn't feel terrible about the fact that it hurts me.

What was a fair expectation?
