Coping with feelings of love and longing

I am feeling so pathetic today - please help me snap out of it.


I want to hate him so badly but I still look at him and see glimpses of the man that I loved. I feel like my heart has been shattered in a million little pieces. Yet life goes on. I see him and my heart still longs for him. Despite his infidelity, etc. and the fact that we are in the midst of divorce, I still love him in some ways.


Please tell me I won't always feel this way. Today is not one of my stronger days. I don't want to love him - when I think about things rationally I know he isn't good for me. But after over 20 years together - my entire adult life -

I know how you are feeling cause that's the way I was when my ex decided to move out.
