No one says you have to stop loving her. You can go on loving her, but that doesn't automatically equate being with her, or even that she is "the perfect one" for you.
Think about the message you are teaching the girls:
Quote:
D8 asked me Saturday as we went to get D11 if I still think STBXW is the perfect girl for me. I waited a few seconds to answer that one and then said, "yes." I promised that I'd always love STBXW, and I'll keep it.
The woman who is perfect for you will NOT treat you this way. Would you want your girls to pine for a man who treated them the way you have been treated? She was perfect for you once, but things sometimes change.
(says the woman who pined away 2+ years of her life). I know that it takes time, but be careful with what you teach the girls.
