Yes, there are feelings of emotion that are similar to my Divroce from XW. It is slightly reassuring, that I remember that process, and know that I survived it. I also learned a couple things that are preached in DBing, that I just couldnt grasp the first time. During this breakup, I have not reached out or acted anyway but lovingly detached. Let me take back. I begged pleaded and pursued while she was in the house. Since then, i have set her free to walk her own path. This time, I have also not made ANY attempt at stalking her social media. I know the pain that can cause. I have not seeked out info or tried to interfere with her plans. I really struggled with those things, the first time around. I know that will make this time easier, in the long run. I have went into LRT right away this time, because I know that any healing and growth must be about me. We don't have children together, and shes no longer in the home. The only way she is ever coming back, will be by her own free will. I have no control over that, and Ive accepted it much sooner than before. This time will be a smoother process, even though my love and connection with this woman is much stronger than it ever was with XW. So, to answer your question, yes there is some re-assurance I feel from going through it before. Unfortunately, it still really, REALLY [censored].
