"Sharks and fish can be friends" from Finding Nemo

[AntoniaB]

Don't mean to hijack, but PEI, is that only since you're in a new relationship? Just curious.

I have that war raging too, the war that still says despite all the pain XH caused that somehow part of me would still be better off if OW had never lived as he says himself he'd never have left if she hadn't been right there for him. He even told me he would have gone to counseling and TRIED to repair the marriage if OW had gone back to her BF. And despite all that being absurd as far as my still having feelings for XH, I am sure on some level I do, even if all those feelings now amount to is jealousy.

Yet if I was in a relat. that was thriving with someone new, I feel like my jealousy over XH and tie to him would just fall apart and the war would be over.

Hence my question, do you not feel what Punkin is feeling because you're in an all-new, thriving relationship as the new you?
