[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you, PP.  I'm not an unkind person. Saying nasty things, being petty, all of that will just make me feel terrible. I dont want to hurt anyone or carry around anger. I just want to get through this [b]without bursting into tears or humiliating myself.[/b] [/quote]

OP, I tear up easily, so I cried a river of tears over DH's infidelity and our split even though I was the one that threw him out (when he continued to cheat despite professing he wanted the marriage).

The things that helped me not cry -- crying it out in private (shower is a good place), talking a LOT with supportive friends and online (the more I told the story the less I cried when telling it), therapy, gaining more power over my own life, and realizing my anger and tears stemmed from a rationality that believed that if my ex understood how hurtful his behavior - both before and after the split - was it would stop (it never would so I gave up on that and it released my emotions).

Find your power in this situation -- you are morally in the right, you would never stoop to behaviors of DH and new GF and you don't need anyone to explicitly acknowledge that. [/quote]
