Yup ... ^^^ Been there, done that, have the shirt.
I recall one 'hostage exchange' where she came up to the door, short shite shorts, heels, sailing-type top, and yeah .. Aviator Sunglasses, said she was meeting up with a GF at a brewery ... shame that GF was on my FB posting about how fun Rio has been all week .... but yeah that image still stuck in my mind, and like you put it ... they put on the face like its all good and they have moved on, thing is ... its just a mask, just like the OP, they are using that stuff for a fix, to feel better, still hurts .. but its not real, deep down you know that and can see it ... but for now your W has been abducted by aliens
