I think you're absolutely right, Orange. It's the shock of the BD that gets us. Once it wears off, you start to see the WAS as what they truly are and wonder why you were even upset. My W has become someone I don't even want to associate with. The hard part is dealing with the memories of who they used to be and wondering if that person will ever come back. I've realized there is nothing I can do to make that person come back, so it's best to let go and move on. Maybe someday they fix their issues and come back to being the person we fell in love with. But we can't wait around waiting for it to happen...
