First week of NC
Well, it is Saturday night and I have not seen my Ex in a week. No more walks. No more bike rides. No seeing her at pick-up or drop-off as I got my son before she was home.
I had a pretty good day today with my son. We watched some movies, went mini-golfing and hit the arcade, then had dinner at Ruby Tuesday's. All of a sudden though, I'm flooding with profound sadness, and I'm thinking of my Ex and her new guy and how their weekend is going together. I was afraid I'd run into her and New Guy at the restaurant, but thankfully that didn't happen.
How could she just flip the switch that fast and move into a new relationship within a few days of telling me she loved me and having sex with me. How can she go from seeing me almost daily, to not at all, and apparently not care in the least?
I know these are questions with no answers. I do look at this week as progress for me, and look forward to it being easier with time. I just love my son and miss seeing him so often, and I miss who she used to be, but I can't let this grief overwhelm me or I won't enjoy this time I do have with him.

Believe me it gets much easier. The more time apart the better. You can\'t rush it, but it does just happen. I used to think of my ex 24-7 but now I will still think of her but sporadically and not at reconciliation ...you\'ll get there
I feel your pain. How they can just move on so quickly. It hurts. I am focusing more on my kids too and that seems to help the pain I feel over losing the man my husband used to be. I keep reminding myself who he is now. I don\'t want that man. Keep reminding yourself of the woman your wife is snow. The one who is an insensitive liar.
