Good question. I started telling myself that she was gone from the start. But that little nagging thought that she might come back, stuck with me for several months. It's the writing on the wall that says it wouldn't work out even if she did, got me to accept that. And more evidence of infidelity was showing up too, so I didn't want her back.

We knew it was over before we split.. It was very much mutual, too many deployments and too much changed. It didn't take long to adjust.

it took me over a year to accept it. The hardest thing I ever did was watch her walk out and not stop her. But I'm better now because I did.

Everybody will have a different time line. So all you can do is accept it and move on with your life. Stay busy, get counseling if you need it, find something you really enjoy doing, cry and get mad if you need to, don't burden or overwhlem your friends/family with your "poor me" sh!t and just try to relax.
Oh and stop lying to yourself that he will walk back into your life. And don't jump out into another relationship just because you're lonely...big mistake. Good luck.

10 years with, 6.5 yrs of that married. Last 2 years were miserable. But still took 18 months to clear the depression of togetherness. Not yearning for get but rather lost in finding my individual self.
It's a process, don't shy from it.

He left me mentally before he left me physically. Once he was physically gone, It was really rough at first. I was numb after a while and then I felt like I had moved on. I anticipated it being finalized for a long time (call it seeking closure, I guess). Our divorce was granted over a year later. I got home from the court house, cried like a baby for a bit, talked to a couple of my sisters and I've been fine ever since. I like to remember all the good times we had, because he was a wonderful husband, and I chose to forgive the bad at the very end.

As soon as I filed for divorce I knew I was done with her. If I had thought things could be worked out I would have tried. Once someone cheats the trust is gone and it is over.

so true. No 2 people cope the same way. Find a way that works best for you. Not what worked best for your friend. Cause you won't see the same results.

Our relationship was going downhill for a while, so it wasn't that much of a surprise when she said that she wanted a divorce.
That being said, I admit that it hurt like hell, and I'm still a mess from it a year and a half later, but things are starting to look up for me.
Of coarse, everyone is a little different. Good luck to you. It'll get easier eventually.

not many like you. Forgiving is about YOU. If we can't do that, the pain becomes self inflicted!
