My mind just started going off thinking how H is building this new and wonderful life with OW. I don't know why but my head keeps saying he's done with you and he is moving on with his life.....I hate these moments....They are getting less and less but the thoughts are still there----you know the ones that say how dare he go on, how dare they have this relationship and think its all right...next week is the big 30 birthday for me...I wonder if he even realizes my birthday is coming up.......here I go whining again.....

Sorry you're hurting so badly. If it's any comfort at all, these relationships rarely survive - the odds are against them. So don't be so sure he's having this "wonderful new life" with OW. Wait until the grind of daily life sets in . . . his so-called wonderful life won't be nearly so fascinating.<P>{{{{{{Hugs}}}}}}}}

Trs,<P>Don't be so hard on yourself, you have only been at this a short period of time. It takes time to recover, for the 1st 6 mths of my mess I was numb. It was like someone had turned off my inner light bulb.<P>Give yourself time to heal. Work on yourself, learn to be happy again. Find peace.<P>But never think about H's wonderful new life, nothing can be wonderful that is built on a foundation of lies.<P>

Trs,<P>I just wanted to let you know that I understand the feelings that you are having. I am experiencing similar feelings myself. This past week, H was supposed to stop contact with OW. However, as I discovered on Friday, that is not the case. So, I start to think that H and OW are haivng this wondeful time together. Then, I remember that H and OW lived together for one month last year. Apparently, it wasn't so wonderful because H kicked OW out of his apartment and wanted to work on our marriage. Anyway, although H has resumed contact with OW, I doubt that they are building a wonderful life together. H even says he lived with her before and knows that he can't handle living with her. I'd bet that the same is true for your H and his OW, too.<P>dolphin
