Shmoopy, seriously? or off the cuff?
Seriously; time and slow healing, and allowing yourself that time....
Off the Cuff; his loss, he is a fool, (anything that runs opposite of the above)
give yourself time and do not allow yourself to fall into the trap of rebounding into a pseudo relationship with someone else in an attempt to heal something that took time to harm.. *YOU*
a quick fix isn't going to happen sad to say, and your a good person from what I've known of you here on the site. Enjoy your friends, your daughter, go out and have a good time, try not to spend to much time beating yourself up emotionally, make friends. Do not let anyone talk you into getting back out there and meeting someone new because you end up bringing all the confusion and everything else from the previous relationship into the new with you which only mucks up the water and sells not only you but the other person short.
anyway...
blah blah blah blah, I know, think to much and shouldn't presume...
but you have a good support line here with friends and you should have one in real life or build one step by step...
you take care of you...
I'll shut up now and be my goofy opinionated dorky self again...
