Tanning makes me feel great too! I grew up in a sunny climate and now live in a place with very little sun. Anything that makes you feel good.
I know what you mean about IT couple. Everyone was shocked and less than a year before we split. Two separate friends of ours said you guys are so funny/cute together you should have a reality show.
1 month of no contact? oh babe I might be going insane if that were the case. You are NOT DISPOSABLE. I do know when I first split with H I detached and put on my blinders because it was easier to move forward if I wasn't thinking about him, his feelings, or my decision about the marriage. If he has an OW then it probably makes it very easy for him to not think about your relationship and just get wrapped up in it.
I firmly 100% believe that everyone rethinks that breakup (unless you're married to Sleeping with the Enemy or something) ACCURAY hit the nail on the head (as usual). We all know rebounds don't work.
GAL'ing is great! People keep complimenting me on my weight loss. They say what's your secret and I say uh, get a divorce it works wonders and then laugh. Seriously though keep taking care of yourself!
