Easy peasy. I don't agree with that. 1

Easy peasy. I don't agree with that. Probably different determined by the relationship. I know mine has moved on easily, no regret for saying what he said. He is happy I am no longer a thorn in his side and who cares of my aftermath. I say the deeper the pain, the stronger the outcome. What does not kill you only makes you stronger in the long run. I wish I could fast forward there. 1
AnotherSadSong Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 My point is scrambled up in my emotions. If they ever cared for that person yes they will have a harder time. If there was absolute no care as in my case of course moving would be incredibly easy. 1
GoldieLox Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 I think the conventional wisdom is that BOTH just move right on like nothing. Easy peasy. I don't agree with that. I think it's conventional wisdom that men do that because of how they perceive themselves. They, by nature, do not show their emotions. According to every male I have ever spoken to, and I have quite a few male friends (that I don't have affairs with, just sayin'...) to show their emotions would be the equivalent of admitting they aren't a man anymore. Over time, they become comfortable doing this to their wife or long term girlfriend, but some never become comfortable with it. A class-A trait of conflict avoiders. The males a] shove the emotions away and don't deal with them at all, or b] deal with them in their own way. The latter doesn't include being a hot mess like women are. 2
