Hopefull33,

BTW, I neglected to mention the epilogue to my story – my ex and his soon-to-be wife moved away to another city. I mention this as a reminder that life is impermanent. Big cities are especially fluid…people seem to always be coming in and going. So this fella and the Mrs. may not be around much longer to potentially run into.

One final actionable item you might want to consider – open your heart to the possibility that this *won’t* be difficult. There’s a Cherokee (they’re a Native American tribe if you’re not from the States) parable of two wolves. In it a grandfather is telling his grandchild about how there are two wolves inside of each of us – one representing goodness and strength, the other anger and fear – fighting for control. The grandchild asks, “which one wins grandfather?” The grandfather replies, “the one you feed.” So do your best not to “feed” the wolf that thinks this will be a challenge. Instead, feed the wolf that represents your success by repeating positive mantras of “this is going to work out” and “I’m strong!” (Or whatever resonates with you.)

Good luck on your journey, whatever you may decide!
