Also, my dear, that she may be many things, but permanent is definitely and absolutely not one of them. And if he "preferred" her -- well, frankly, a proper, committed husband doesn't develop "preferences" because he's committed to his choices. I mean, wives aren't entrees!! We don't just get to send back the filet mignon because a hamburger is what we really wanted after all.

I get the feelings, though. They trigger when we think we've mastered them and it's like a double-hit because not only are we having those yucky feelings but we're angry at having to live through that experience again when we'd gotten our heads around the facts and just want to move on.

Huge hugs for you, Raliced. You are a rock star.
