Thank you and everyone else who takes the time to read and comment. I swear, at times, this group is better than therapy. I love the wide range of voices and opinions, which all come from a place of such deep empathy.
I have read the 5 love languages, and it certainly could have helped. That was a tough read (or listen, as I got an audio version)2 months post BD. So much to try out and no opportunity to do so!

Yes, it is a work of a lifetime. And you can't even imagine how much you can grow from where you are right now. You can even develop superpowers. And I am not kidding. If you play your cards right you might develop an unbelievable sort of intuition. You will be able to spot liars from 100 feet and you can develop your inner voice that's always right to serve as your sidekick.
What is this?? I'd love to hear more about developing this level of intuition!
Ultimately, yep, loving and accepting yourself is the prerequisite to truly loving and accepting another person. 100% on board there. That's a work (a long time) in progress.
