I have to agree with OT (hiding now)

you know my feeling on the OW. I think it's a distraction. You see yourself through someone else's eyes. Someone who has only known you for a short time, only seen the parts of you you want them to see, and only heard about your past from you. Of course she thinks you're amazing. Also you don't know that she doesn't need fixing, or that she doesn't have hidden insecurities. It is easier to think that everything will be "perfect" with someone new. But NO ONE is PERFECT for ANYONE. Every R will need work and compromise.

But hey maybe I'm just bitter because H is choosing GF of 2 months over me.
