This used to be a much longer list for me... Almost a year later, I guess I am healing. Here are some things that still sting a bit:

Her name (its unusual)

Her hometown

The city where they now live together

Pendleton Whiskey (found a bottle they'd been sharing, in OUR bedroom!)

4door hardtop Jeep Wranglers, though thankfully he has now sold his

Diet Rockstar (his addiction)

Pawn Stars (another addiction. I hated it)

Movies/shows with an adultery theme

Las Vegas

Some things that were triggers, that I have now reclaimed for myself:

The country bar where I dance, where we used to go together, and even went with OW and her boyfriend once

Many different types of music I couldn't listen too because they were either triggery or just too sad

The house I live in, that used to be ours

The airport. I had a complete breakdown there, but the last trip I took, I did fine

SEX. Yeah.

And last but not least, hopefully... Hawaii. The place we got married, honeymooned, and revisited two years later. I've never been there without him, but I'm headed there (alone!) in three weeks. Wish me luck.

Me: Enjoying life
Him: Someone else's problem
