I have trouble with detaching too. I realize that when I fool myself into thinking everything will get better, it's only because I imagine him coming back.
I like Thornton's story, but I sincerely doubt mine will have that outcome, as my husband seems to have met the love of his life.
I try to tell myself, that while he's all wrapped up in OW, I'm sitting here dealing with the actual pain and outcome of divorce and splitting up a family. Maybe one day when reality hits him, I'll have complete closure and be ready to move on. Maybe it's the same for you, Gabs. Until then, I'll think of you, you're not alone.
