Happy ex memories...

2 yrs ago, ex and I split after 20 yrs of marriage. Things are horrid between us now, but I've got lots of lovely memories of many happy times.

The song from our first dance at our wedding meant a lot to us through our marriage. We'd often sing and dance to it. He had the title engraved on my 1st ipod. The song was precious to us.

So last night, I'm dancing to this song and singing along to it with new partner. Having a ball with him, whilst trying really hard not to cry too. All my happy memories with ex flooding back, while trying to make new happy memories.

How do you all deal with all these grief moments, particularly about someone who you now know to be a horrid man?

Just acknowledge the fact that he changed over time? None of us ever remain exactly the same. The facts of your wedding and how you felt about one another were true at the time, weren't they?

It’s coming up a year that I separated from my husband, he was an alcoholic and treated me badly. I still feel sad when I hear songs that remind me of him , also feel sad about places and things we used to do together. Im hoping I can move on from the sadness and start to enjoy life again x
