I do feel terrible that he (and 9 others in his dept) lost their jobs.

I always feel bad when someone loses their job, but you know what? In this case I am doing the happy dance because I *know* how much quicker you are going to heal now......and with TweenerVille right around the corner...well, YIPPEE!! :smileywink:
What I would have given to have had Xmm sell this damn company several years ago when he had the chance. He wanted out, but no one wanted the financial mess it was in. It has only gotten worse over the years, so who knows. I may be in the unemployment line by the end of the year...but you know what? THAT'S OKAY.
You have been given a new lease on life. Embrace his loss as your good fortune because a huge burden has been lifted from your shoulders, whether you were aware of it or not. Just watch how much lighter you are going to feel in a couple of weeks.

I do feel sadder as the news is sinking in - but, I think it's also because i knew the 9 others as well and just feel depressed generally for all of them.
I came back from lunch and I feel better sitting at my desk - no more mixed angst anticipating/dreading running into him in the lobby/elevator.
Iddy - i do hope I feel better in a few weeks.
Thank you. I KNOW you're right and I AM so thankful that this burden has been lifted.
Coming back from lunch and not having to worry about a run-in, I realized that I HAD been totally stressed every time I went out of my office because of that looming chance-encounter. But, NO MORE!!! Truly NC now instead of LC!!!
Such selfishness!

We are restructuring at work and it may be xap will move to being a coworker rather than my immediate manager. Baby steps lol!!

That said....
Our personal battles getting past something so soul destroying as an affair is something we all know about here on EAS. I'm pleased for nv that she no longer has to see her exAp every day. I can't even imagine how hard that will be.
Initial relief will turn into genuine hope that these laid off people ( including exAP) will find work. But that doesn't take away from that initial rush of relief that her healing journey can now move forward at a much faster rate.
