WHG: When last we heard from our action hero...

[workinghardguy]

I know, right 2TP? Granted, it was my SS's C she was talking to, but still... I can only imagine my W describing us to her divorced friends, and I can't think of a one who isn't at war with their XH, and them thinking WTF? You left that? Ok then...

Noticed this morning that W has taken down the large portrait photo of her and I kissing at the gazebo on our wedding day. Had a short cry when I noticed that. House was empty as W and kids had just left for school. She must have done it the week I was gone, and somewhat wondering if she didn't do it the day she changed her FB status to "separated". She has mentioned several times that having that photo up really bothered her and made her cry/feel bad.

And in some ways... while it broke my heart (though only a little... how much more broken can it get after all) to see it down I also took some solace in it. It only came down because it caused her pain. And the opposite of love is not hate or pain, it's apathy. If she truly didn't care anymore then it wouldn't matter if it was up or not. It's like the week I was gone she had to take the extra-large steps (FB status, the photo, crushing on a guy) to prove to herself that she has left and isn't looking back.

Life goes on, and what will be will be and it is what it is.
