The clock made me sad - why would you buy a new one that's exactly the same unless you were pretty sure that your W would never be coming back with her version of that clock? Granted, he might not be thinking that way. He may not be thinking much of anything besides "I want things to look like how they used to." But it made me sad that he's busy replacing everything as if I'm not coming back. I've been holding onto this secret hope that there's no way he'll ACTUALLY divorce me, he'll come around, it will just take some time. I need to really let go of that and acknowledge that more than likely he's NOT "coming back."


Any of these things could be true or not true.

How about trying the old "Hmmm, isn't that interesting?" line.

I remember all the meaning you placed on that clock and now he's replaced it for $60. You got what you wanted, he got what he wanted.

I know this is all painful for you, I continue to post here because I remember it all too well. I would pick apart every little thing, trying to find some meaning. It only kept me stuck and wallowing.

Until I decided to not care. We are truly in charge of how much meaning we give things.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
