Wow V...that is deep and very insightful. You sound very much like me with the obsessing and spending all our time in them. I have not spoken with the OW, but lord knows I want so badly to text her and call her every name in the book.
Please tell me how you came to this realization. I am days, hours, moments from having my D final, and I feel and act as if it just happened. The pain is humbling....I keep thinking I am going to wake up and all this will have been a nightmare.
