Hope and heartache

[Deep]

CTH, stay strong. It's all too human to feel yourself crumble, but you know you'll make it through andf come out better. It sucks to even think that your W is out on a double date, but then again, detach, it's her life, her call.

Don't backslide and think she'll learn her lesson cavorting around with scum and see your true value to her. That's really not the point. You have value period, and you are and can be a great H, period. She may think about that at some point, she may not. She may come to appreciate you again, she may not. She almost certainly is not going to do so on the double date.

You've got a life, and still would prefer her in it. But it's still going to go on, and fabulously in the end, with or without her.
