Recovering yourself from all this

[ClingingToHope]

I think I still love her, the 'her' that lives in my memory. Not the one I see now. She's not a bad person, just lost.

A friend of mine at work talked to me about this. He was married to his first wife for eight years. He's been married to his second wife for more than 20. His kids are with the second one.

He said everything about his second marriage is better than his first one. Nicer lady, less stress, everything in every way.

Yet he still thinks about his first wife at least once a week, sometimes several times a week. He says the feelings never totally go away.
