Remember...it isn't simply a couple times getting drunk. It's the fact that you said you venting everything that had stored up since the last time.

That is the real issue...everything that you guys aren't dealing with that gets stored up.

You say you miss the old her. I'm right there with you because I have a big lonely spot that my wife used to fill.

I have come to think of the dynamic between us and our 'old spouses' much like a WAS and an affair partner. Just like they are addicted to their affair partner, we are addicted to our 'old spouse'.

I know how hard it is cause I've been going through the same thing...just have to tough it out with detachment and GAL.

It gets easier if you keep going.
