Terapin, it's very common for WAS's to "affair down". It's usually perplexing to the LBS that they do this, but a lot of times it's just a case of them finding someone that tells them what they want to hear (often it's not heartfelt though, there are a lot of people out there that prey on the desperate and know just what emotional buttons to push to make it sound like they care).
AS, this is so true...
You are still into the boiling state T. Get some fresh air. Do something to cool down. Go for a walk. Take your time. What do you want? What do you really want? You should ask these same questions after some time.
