I had a hard time reconciling my "bond" with my x. I do not feel married to her, but I still deeply love her.. and at times that bothers me. I fear it will hold me back from meeting someone else. Or that I will never feel that kind of bond with anyone like I did with x.
Fear is never a good motivator.
A friend mentioned to me that whomever I am in a new R with will be an Addition instead of a replacement. I like this.... takes the pressure off of it.
I think it's possible to still love your w, but still love others just as deep.
Give it time, you will get there when you are supposed to.

Show empathy when there's pain. Show grace when warranted. Kindness in the midst of anger. Faith in the face of fear.
