Hey Vett,
I'm glad you checked in, thanks for that. I hope you don't mind that we're going to chech up on you once in awhile? I know this pain you're going thru hurts like hell, and a lot of us here wish we could take some of it on ourselves to make it a bit easier for you, but we can't. But I'm betting you that someday, someone or something is going to come along and fill that void that you have in you right now.
I think the first step you need to take is to stop beating yourself up over this. What's done is done, and you can't change it. But what you did doesn't make you a bad person, you made a bad choice. Unfortunately, sometimes we pay heavy prices for bad choices. But until you can start to cut yourself some slack, you'll never be able to move on. You're good people, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that.
And someday you'll meet someone, and your hearts will be a perfect fit. You'll know all the right things to do, and the wrong things. And if I'm right, I expect an invitation to the wedding...
We really do care about you, you know?
