ORIGINAL: Mercnbeth But 'logic' and emotions don't get along well either. I can't say I've followed my own advice when it comes to not being bitter. Maybe time is the cure, or some other life changing event must occur to move on. Just know you have to do so. Drawing from personal experience, bitterness is baggage can't be carried on to a new relationship with an expectation of success. Bitterness builds is a wall of skepticism preventing happiness, trust, and fulfillment. It closes you from finding another. Merc, I appreciate your whole post, and this part deserves to be highlighted in and of itself. I actually hate bitterness, and I worked very hard at not becoming bitter from the divorce I went through. I don't like the way it feels and I don't like the way it looks. And you are right - it certainly keeps one boxed in. This is why I am again determined to not give it a home with me. I recognize the personal work I have to do on myself, and I've already begun. Again, thank you for what you wrote.
