It's not as big as what you are going thru but I got a email today from xw that she had met someone new and would be introducing him to the kids soon (details in my thread). I thought I was doing OK putting this off till later to deal with but a coworker noted that I looked stressed so I confided about the email. My coworker shared that even though seven years had gone by, she still felt pain when she got the news that her former spouse was remarrying. "This is a person you've been with for a long time. You've raised children together. There's always some degree of attachment."

Her moment to gloat was, "It doesn't mean your former spouse is going to be any happier."
