Re:Missing my life......................... Blueyes424: Thanks, Pengiun!!
It's taken me a while to figure that out, but I have come to that conclusion as well. Some days it's harder to remember than others......but it's gettin easier!
Love you too!!!!!!!

IMHO, one of the defining characteristics in life, is NOT failing one of your finals, nor failing to complete a task at work on time, but this.
The failure to cherish what was built not in one day, nor one week, nor one month, nor even one year, but in years. Human lifespan is measured in years, not centuries.
To give up on something so real defies comprehension, nor sympathy.
The failure, Goddess, was not yours to begin with.
Don't we all miss our lives?
If it wasn't for the revelation on her true colors, I probably would have reached mini Everest by now. I was high-flying and going strong.
Now I limp.

I feel exactly the same...too much of my identity was tied up in my spouse and the life we had together.
Re:Missing my life......................... Blueyes424: I agree that I have tied up too much of me into the life we used to have, but my question is........how do you break away? I have stopped all contact with him, blocked his number, email, etc........but he has still found a way to get to me for some reason.
I DO NOT still love him. I don't. He will always be my first, and that's something I cannot change.
But how do I make the memories go away, and how do I make them quit making me long for the life we had?
I have been doing better, especially since there is a new love interest in my life, but it seems like it is always in the back of my mind................how do I make it STOP?
Re:Missing my life......................... francesca: You're doing it every day, making it stop. By getting up in the morning, seeing your new man, by talking to all of us here, and by sharing your feelings. You're doing it by blocking him out and by being strong. Keep it going!
