Hey Peter, good to hear from you again. Hope all is well.
Try not to get too wound up about it. I know it can be fascinating, but trying to guess is really tough.
That said, it is true that they do tend to affair down. They are hurt and equate that hurt with you. It seems natural that they would look for "different" than what they had. For a while anyway.
Don't look back my friend. The person you knew is not the person they are now. And likely won't be for a very long time if ever.
Peace, AJ
