My fiance sent me an interesting article this morning about a soul being tired and exhausted, not just the physical body. We both complain about being drained at the end of each day and of feeling completely exhausted. Some nights we can hardly do anything except crawl into bed.

He said that the years of hell he went through with his abusive ex probably took a huge toll on him, just like my abusive ex impacted me negatively for a whole year after our breakup.

We are both still on the mend, but we have found that the deep love we have for each other is most healing.

I wonder if that's truly the key to healing from an ex... ? Is finding true love that surpasses anything you've ever had with anyone?

I can also imagine that finding your true self again, being independent and free again to do as you please, and creating a life for yourself that is very happy, full and rich (spiritually speaking) can accomplish the exact same things as finding true love again. That's pretty much the same as falling in love with yourself and your own life.

But for the two of us, it seems that our love is healing both of us from years and years of damage. Interesting stuff.
