Hi ((((JCL)))) I've been following the thread and agree with the other members and support you wholeheartedly.

Of course you are going to go through a range of emotions. You opened your heart to someone. That is a gift. To them and to yourself. It is important to let yourself grieve. It takes time. And the stages of grief definitely do not happen in the traditional order and within a specific time period.

(I do, though, defer to one of my favorite characters from one of my old favorite tv shows, "it takes half the total time you went out with someone to get over them" )

In terms of being worried you'll never be able to trust again...please be kind to yourself. And listen to NoCake!

You are doing really well. Glad you came to PC and are speaking with your T.

*I hope you give yourself some credit for taking really good care of yourself through this ordeal. It is soo hard. Especially when there are children involved that you fall in love with, as well.
