I wish there were words big enough for how much I love this man. I need some elephant words – some Great Wall Of China, shit-you-can-see-from-way-out-in-space words.
Where are those words when you need them? Do you have some to share? A few I can borrow, just for a few minutes?

A friend of mine just found out that her husband has been cheating on her for the last two years. I’m furious on her behalf. This, of course, made me stop and think about why I’m so furious and I think it’s because I’m still insanely angry with my ex-husband for cheating on me. He did it several times, that I found out about, but it was only with the final person that things got physical. All the other times were online things only, although the emails and messages and photos going back and forth were enough to make it cheating in my eyes.
It’s been two years, almost to the day, since he moved out, yet I’m still incredibly angry about it and I’m not sure how to let that go. I haven’t been able to date anyone since he left. I don’t really have any desire to. I don’t want to let anyone get close enough to hurt me again.
