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?
I think the first question is why are you talking to him about her?

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.
Rejection. Hurt. Anger. Pain. All born out of what they did to us. Completely natural. What is your road lined in?

Anyone have any heartening stories about how it went pear-shaped with the OW/OM?
I don't get the question...
There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
