So nice to hear from you both. I'll need a new thread soon, but I am glad to hear that I am not alone with the "imagination problem". The pendulum swings strangely for me even when I try to be rational. I cannot keep thinking everything negative from my end (we'll never get back together, I will never see him again) and everything positive from his (so happy with the new relationship and kids). Life does not work that way.
I just wish I knew if he and the GF were getting serious again. Because that is the line that I draw unless it absolutely does not bother me at all. That will take a long time. I do not want to feel as if I am competing.
The hard part is that I cannot see a future for us anymore. He has now been NC for seven weeks and it has been ten months since BD. I feel like I need to face life without him. And I just don't want to. But I must accept. He has moved on and I need to do the same.
I have never read/watched The Secret but I am up for anything these days. Maybe I will check it out.
