Ok....I just wanted to share..
I ran into my STBX at the grocery store yesterday. My son was with him so he yelled out to me and ran over to give me a hug. My STBX had a grin on his face. I think it was a nervous grin. After they left I felt so empty. It's so strange to me that I've been with this man most of my life and now I don't even know him. He's a stranger to me. It saddened me. I got in my car and cried. I felt so very alone at that moment. How can someone just cut you out of their life after being together for so long?
In my heart I know there is going to always be a part of me that loves him even though I hate to admit it. He was my life for so long. I know my marriage is totally over and I don't want him back but it just hurts to know that the man I married is gone forever. It's like a death. Although I think death is easier because they are gone....this is more like a dead corps popping up all the time.
Anybody else feeling this way?

Tree...How do I deal with running into WS?

Make sure I am driving a BIG car.

Seriously Tree, you are going to go through this for a bit, completely normal.

Divorce is like a death in the family with no body to bury so mourning the loss takes a bit of time...no closure...you'll be OK

breathe

deeply

not kidding

RebornMan...Oh, I'm sure I'll be ok just need to know how to handle seeing him... :-) It's tough!
I like the idea about driving the big car. hee hee hee!!!!

Pep. I guess that's all I can do huh? Breathe!!!! Ok...so next time I see him I will stop and just take a deep breathe. I hope I don't see him too often...I might hyperventilate. (don't even know if I spelled that right. lol)
