now that whole world is gone, like it never happened.  We are never going to open Christmas presents again, take a vacation, plan our kid's wedding together...

Friends and family tell me I will get over it, move on, but you cannot carve away knowing someone 17 years of your life as if it never happened.  What do you do?[/quote]

I share your melancholy, it's deep.  I could not live with my ex any longer because though we had a good time when we weren't at odds, the fights were unbearable and six years of counseling solved absolutely nothing.  [b]Now, 14[/b] [b]months after he moved out, I am[/b] [b]pining for the life we had[/b] [b]with the kids, and feel utterly bereft.  He was my best friend[/b] and confidant when times were good, and I will never find that again.  I rely on antidepressants to get past this, but it doesn't seem to go away.  If only we could talk to each other about what's going on in our jobs, who he's dating, etc..  I'm not jealous at all and would not go back to the bitterness, but I just miss him.  [/quote]

Can you get back together & try again?![/quote]
I'm the melancholy PP and no, we can't get back together, he has moved on thoroughly with a long-term girlfriend he says is great, and he never looked back.  Hell, he never even tried to talk me out of getting divorced.  I was miserable with him, but this is a different kind of miserable.  The fact is, he is a bully and can be very nasty, but it may be Stockholm Syndrome but he is so ingrained in my life and stuck in my head.[/quote]
