I just have to say...this conversation thread is AMAZING. CR995, your honesty is beautiful and humbling and....well...damn! Thank you for your very brave openness. Everything you are saying about craving the Ex is what I have felt and am feeling and am going through. I am treating him as an addiction and am taking one day at a time. I am on day 10 and find myself getting more and more open about my situation. And often I find the person I am sharing with has their own story, that makes me feel less alone and crazy.
Hugs and love to you.
