Well it's just a short 7 days now till I have to work more days than not with the OW who is now engaged to my STBX. I have no idea how I will cope. The stress is already almost unbearable just thinking about it, and I think that having to deal with a new job at the same time is going to break me. But there is no way out of the pre-planned rotation other than to sacrifice the career I've spent 14 years working on.

I'm trying to concentrate on remembering that I will always be much the better human being than either of them, that I haven't done the wrong here, and that I still have my self respect. But it's tough. Especially because those two obviously have a moral code which doesn't involve caring about being nasty, cruel, dishonest cheating individuals.


Reality is that which, if you don't believe in it, doesn't go away.
