Check this piece out: "The Newspaper" written by my ex-wife.

Originally posted by Attalus: Wow, Yorick, if my ex-wife could write things like that, maybe things would have worked out better between us. But, I didn't miss any rituals between us, we had too little contact. Certainly, if anything ever happened between Galadria and me, I would miss all of that, the Sundy morning paper-reading and breakfast-making, the frantic struggle to get to work in the morning. Funny, she calls them "traditions," but they mean the same things.

Yeah. Traditions, rituals.

They were the first things I missed. Pet names is another. It doesn't feel right to call anyone else the same pet name.

Anyhow, I'm forging new traditions with my girl. (Who is amazing BTW) [img]smile.gif[/img] Trying not to freak if somethings feels familiar, and focussing on the here and now, what I have, not what I've lost or left behind.

Rokenn, I'm so sorry to hear that brother. Glad the piece helped a bit. Let me know what your friend thinks.

Yorick, your ex-wife is talented, indeed to write that. Good writing evokes emotions with images - something she accomplished well. (You basically said the same thing.)

As every relationship is different, every breakup and healing is different. I have been married 3 times and each was unique from the others. Perhaps it was stages in my life, but what grows from each relationship is almost like a being of its own. Sometimes we miss the "relationship" more than the partner.

I know I am better for knowing the people I did.

Being in a new relationship with memories from an old one can be unsettling, but eventually they fade. Things that once were raw become like a familiar t-shirt, they bring a smile, but the pain is gone. I hope you get to that point soon. [img]smile.gif[/img]
