It will never go away. Being married and having kids together was a huge part of your life. Just acknowledge it, don’t run from it, and know that there isn’t a person on this board who wouldn’t feel a bit sad from time to time 👍

Thanks Kind.

The ex's best friend (whom I'm still friends with) called me to chat and to tell me some of our old mutual friends were sniffing around for info. He didn't tell them anything, but asked if I was doing ok since the ex is putting pics of him and his new girlfriend on social media.

I'm just really frustrated still. I know it's normal to be sad from time to time, but why is this impacting me still so much? I knew he'd been cheating - he put a photo of the girl up in our home for heavens' sake - so why am I still so upset by knowing he posted on social media?
