sometimes our memories like to soften and alter the pictures, so they look nicer in the photo album. you two had only been married a short two years when you first arrived at SR and things were already getting intolerable. then it progressed. and a year later you posted:

you were NOT making a big deal out of nothing.
there very much WERE problems.
your relationship had disintegrated and Mr Wonderful was anything but.
i am a bit stunned with your family's behavior over the 4th:
My brother was in town with his wife so I met up with the two of them and my mom for breakfast. Asked what their plans were and all sheepishly told me they were invited to a party of a family friend and that I wasn't asked to go because this friend is also a very good mutual friend of AH and he would probably be there.
seriously?? what a bunch of sh!heads. you have my total blessing to pout and be irked over THAT.
it's all gonna take TIME, emma. nobody wants to hear that. but it's true. it always took me around two years to get over a serious relationship/man person. regardless of the reasons. or the methods or lack there of to get through it.
