Do you think this is normal?

my marriage was over for probably a good two years before he moved out. i felt relief and sadness etc. now, even though i don't love him and even though i feel stressed when i am in his presence for less than five minutes, every now and then i get a case of the "if onlys" and "what ifs" -- i wonder if this happens to any of you. i didn't get that in the first six months at all -- i was just so angry at him for the way he treated me and even the kids (elbow off the table, close your mouth when you chew -- constantly)and relieved that we could finally relax. maybe those times are becoming distant (he left last summer) and a few months ago i found out he has a gf with whom he's serious - and the odds are she was in his life before he left -- anyway, just wondering if anyone split, wasn't in love anymore -- but got those what ifs, etc.

Oh yes..... we all get those I think.
Heck, I still do. I know I am not in love with him anymore but I still think about the what if's. My ex has been gone since 7/31/03 ( funny I will never forget that date )
I guess for me, I think about it then I don't think about it..... like, when I start to think about it I move on to thinking about the future, and how much happier we are now than when we were with XH. That usually gets those thoughts out of my head.
