Short journal entry today... I saw another social media post. A letter the STBX wrote to hear parents, thanking them for the unconditional support and identifying that "Your marriage and the love your share is immensely inspiring."

That is difficult to read and slightly angers me.

Early on I spoke to her parents about her 4 premises (ILYBINILWY, I'm not happy, relationships aren't work & people don't change). Her own parents didn't agree with her premises, and her father described their journey as a journey that requires two people to work on their relationship and to continually fall in love over and over.

So although she believes it is immensely inspiring, does she believe that it doesn't always come easy or natural, and that somethings need effort.

I think I have been more in the anger stage of grieving lately. I haven't been showing it to her or projecting it to her. But I am upset and my head naturally defaults to thinking about this. I need to shake it. More GAL'ing I think.
