I think friends and family hurt knowing we hurt, so I think they tell us their logic dictates. You hurt because of WS. I hurt because you hurt. You stop loving WS and you no longer hurt. You no longer hurt I no longer hurt.
My mother who was the cheater in the M actually told me WW is bad news and you got to get away from her. She will come crawling back sometime and you cannot take her back. UH mom you did the same thing and you expect people should treat you with dignity and respect. I am sure even after so many years if she thought my dad had any inkling of forgiveness she would be up there tomorrow. My friends say the same thing, you need to get over the b!tch. Well if only it was that easy.
Truth is no one but us are in our sitchs. We all may have similar sitchs, but only we know our hearts. Some of us will move on sooner that others, some of us hopefully will reconcile and some will pine away for years and years. But we are all different and the great thing about you all is that you all just listen (well read) and support.
