Thanks Fogg. Time is the only healer. I would say there is one way that learning more about the OW helps me: it reminds me that I'm the better option. My W doesn't see that and likely never will, and truthfully, there are days I can't see it, either. On the surface, she sure does look like much more fun right now. But really... these emails do not bother me. They just put things in context and actually helps me make sense of things. I'm not re-reading them or looking for new things to read. The good thing as far as healing and moving forward is that she is mostly out of the house and all their business takes place out of my view. I haven't seen WW in over a week, which is the longest I've not seen her since she was working overseas. It's progress. Painful progress, but progress.
