Why ? - This exchange is the kind of thing newbies write. You have been here long enough to know the script.
You're right, I should know better.

I hate to admit it, but this is true.
What I did yesterday reopened old wounds. However, it was necessary and gave the conviction to give my consent for D. It was a difficult day.
I still feel the heartbreak today, but to a lesser degree. I tried to schedule an appointment with a therapist but he'll be unavailable for these two weeks. I'll take it slow for the next few days.
I spent an hour earlier today to delete photos of WAW on my phone and put all of her stuff in the storeroom. Out of sight, out of mind. I know Steve would tell me to burn them. Maybe one day, I am letting go one at a time.
I have nothing else to do now in regards to my M except wait for the court date. I shouldn't have anymore reasons to contact WAW.
I won't be working on to save my M now. I'll be refocusing on myself.
If I start to pursue WAW again, someone please slap me.
M: 28 W: 30 T: 2 years Married: Nov 2019 BD: 5 days after wedding (I know right?)
