I attended my ex sis-in-law’s wedding today. (Don’t preach, please; it was very small, outdoors, and a socially distanced/masked affair.)
I still consider the ex’s family my family. They love me too.
Anywho: anyone else trigger REAL hard after attending a wedding? I saw my ex walk down the aisle looking absolutely stunning! Jesus, it hurt. I had to pull out the old list of grievances to remind me of why I left her.
And then they took family pics that I wasn’t a part of for the first time in almost two decades. Pardon the language, but shit! I didn’t think I could feel this way anymore.

Hi Athame, I think I remember you. Sweden, right? Your ex-W may be physically attractive, but that will never change the fact that she has a lump of dog shit where her soul should be. Never forget that. Never.
ETA: Sorry, wrong back story, but the theme of my reply is still (unfortunately) correct overall.

Ugh. Yeah, but you can put lipstick on a pig. Still a pig.
You’re a good guy to go to the wedding despite her being there.

I knew I wouldn’t forgive myself if I missed the wedding. She’s my kid sister still. We talk almost every week. I wasn’t prepped for this triggering, though. I didn’t think I could trigger this big anymore.
But, this train don’t stop. All will be well.
