Thanks TG, 25 & Gal man.
You have all made some good points and I appreciate it very much.
It is hard to stop obsessing about this and her. I just feel so useless and empty without her. The more this goes on the more real it becomes and the more I worry about what's to come - settlement, divorce, her being with another man.......
I am finding it so hard to detach. I found an article on the livestrong site, but I find it so hard to put it into practice.
When I look at my life now and what it's become, it makes me so sad and makes me want to contact my W. It's so hard when I am the only single person from all my friends and they are all married, having kids and I have nothing. My social life is almost naught nowadays. My W and I did everything together - hence I miss her so much. She says she misses parts of us, but it's only nostalgia, whereas I sit in our house and look at photos of us - how do I detach from that?
