Thank you all for your kind words I really do appreciate them. I'll take all of it heart.

The death of a relationship is (IMHO), the same as losing a spouse,although you may encounter your lost love sometime in the future. I have the memories of losing my wife of 27years now as comfort, she will be gone two years this September......

It gets better over time but you never get over it all the way... In my opinion. I was together with my ex for 20 years... Married for 13. I was blindsided by her affair and busted her after being suspicious for a few months. I still don't know the whole truth but am at a point where I am moving on and really don't care any more. You will have your days where you think you've turned the corner and then the next week the same feelings come back again.

It gets bearable and you'll learn to deal with it. The best thing you can do is to work on a project or get out into the world and meet new people and go to new places!
