I'VE BEEN MARRIED FOR 2 YEARS AND THE BEGINNING OF OUR MARRIAGE, MY HUSBAND CHEATED. HE PROMISE ME THAT IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. WELL IT DID AND HE SIGN THE PAPERS ON YESTERDAY. THEY SAY HE MET THIS WOMAN AT A SUPERMARKET AND NOW HE'S MOVE IN WITH HER AND HER TWO KIDS. HE MOVED OUT ON SEPT 5. I'M TELLING MYSELF THAT'S ITS OVER BUT I'M ANGRY AS HELL BECAUSE WITHOUT ME HE WOULDN'T BE WHERE HE IS NOW.

I thought you readers might enjoy this:

THE STAGES OF FORGETTING

1. Wanting Him Back

Fantasy: He returns, carrying roses.
He’s so apologetic he could weep.
He loves you best. He begs you to forgive him.
You buy it. Maybe he’s not SUCH a creep.

2. Wanting Him Dead

Fantasy: He goes fishing, falls in, drowns.
A bus runs over him. It kills her too.
Or maybe you could get away with murder:
Brain him with lamb chops. Afterwards, make stew.

3. Transcendence

Reality: You find that you can cover
The entire bed. You don’t need him to work
The VCR. And what a lousy lover
He was! You smile, and then forget the jerk.

Unfortunately, nothing you can do
Will zap you right past stages One and Two.
