I feel the best thing we can do for ourselves is to figure out how to live our best lives and then do so, separate from the other / former partner. That way, regardless of whether or not they float back into our lives on a cloud of MLC pixie dust or crawl back begging for forgiveness or something in between or they remain gone forever, we are STILL living our best lives.

We owe it to ourselves and to our children. They are watching how we handle all of this.

"Someone I loved once gave me
A box full of darkness.
It took me years to understand,
That this too, was a gift."
