Same here. F Door #3
Statistical analysis suggests there is a big pile of steaming crap behind that door too.
Most likely your life will improve while hers will not.

I want to retain my composure though.
I recently had taken some lessons to GAL. I wound up telling the tutor what I was going through because I just couldn’t concentrate on the lesson.
He told me a story about a friend of his whose wife left him for another man.
His friend was devastated, but shortly after the D. The other man was stricken with cancer. Which financially ruined them before he died. He laughed about it. Really had a good laugh Saying something like karma is a B.

I don’t want my head/ heart to ever get to a place like that. I also don’t want to be “Friends”
It’s going to be a fine line to walk for me.
