A question out of hurt and a desperate belief in karma - will the OW's mask slip? I have this conversation in my head daily - if she is as wonderful and perfect as he says she is, then I should be happy for him that he's managed to find such a wonderful fit and I shouldn't begrudge him their relationship - after all in the same shoes and I found such a flawless soul mate, wouldn't I want him to wish the same for me, especially if he really meant it when he said he loved me? Who wants to be the Grinch standing in the way of true love?
It occurs to me daily my pain is borne out of ego, out of rejection. I do know it's more than that - I do love him still. But as he's demonstrated, love dies and I'm just waiting for mine to conk off. I wish there was a guillotine effect but unfortunately it seems to be starving to death.
Anyone have any heartening stories about how it went pear-shaped with the OW/OM?
