1st thought - Why aren't we good enough for him? (I know in my head it isn't about us, but my heart says otherwise)...

2nd thought - I can't do this again with a new OW...

I don't have the strength within me...

3rd thought - I wonder, looking back if he ever really loved me or just the idea of marriage at the time...
I'm sorry, Serenity. Don't know what words I can say... frown

Not to worry: it will find you, eventually. It's just now beginning to catch up to me. Last week, my family doctor said to me "So tell me: when are you going to get angry?" Me: "What?" Her: "You've cycled through all the stages except one: when are you going to get angry ? At her? About this?" And I've finally been letting myself acknowledge and feel the very real anger that is due. Overdue.

So:Gggrrrrr.... mad
And one for you: Gggrrrr....r mad

Be good to yourself. You deserve it. smile

With fruit, with weeds even; but gather them
