DoubleM agony auntMy wife of 20 years, plus the three prior years as live-in lovers, up and left me some 15 years ago when I was about 46-years-old. I'm still getting over it. It is the idea that we would be life-long partners that I so lament, however.

Due to the cruel way she left me in debt, with last minute expenditures that took weeks and months to fully realize, I cannot possibly rue the loss of the particular person. Yet, my finances never fully recovered and my life path was altered.

So, the only condolence that I can offer for you is to realize that you made a mistake in the selection to begin with, as did I, and learn to live with it.

van1llabeeen87 agony auntI can see how this would be a huge blow to your ego but think about it this way...if she moved on that quickly what do you think your relationship really meant to her and would you want to spend/waste anymore time with a person so callous?? could also mean though that maybe she's hurt and this is her way of dealing with it; in other words--rebound.
