As you know, it's hard for me to log on here while H and kids are home, so I have to be brief. There's more I want to say when I get a longer chance.

I'm guessing you haven't heard from your H since that last time? I guess that leaves you feeling as though you've had no closure with him--apart from this slap in the face of a wedding announcement.

From what I've read, most MLCers eventually do feel regret, and many try to make some sort of apology to the spouses they hurt. However, that may still be years coming, since right now your ex is still distracted by the OW-novelty-endorphins. He has known her for about 2 years this December, if I interpret correctly, so the crunch where he starts to realize that he's still not happy (and, therefore, you were not the source of his problems) can't be far away. As you say, he's stubborn, so he may not want to admit that for awhile--but he will feel it.

The trouble with fb is that most people only post happy photos and comments. Often, the worse the relationship is getting, the harder they try to convince everyone that all is perfect. So, what you saw was propaganda for them, but not necessarily reality. You're right to avoid the temptation to look again, though--it will hurt too much every time.

It's been 2 years of grieving for you, too, and I want to get back to you with some suggestions for moving on as soon as I can. Also, you might want to look for some "success" stories in the Divorced section, to see how others coped after divorce. Lissie was pretty amazing.
