And now... Another way in which he's moved on and I haven't. Can't.
Well, it sucks to feel that way, but you do seem to have moved on. You've got a job that you love that's meaningful and fulfilling and challenging. You have a new apartment to yourself. You've dated several people in the interim. Not that it's possible to keep score, but it seems to me you've made as many (or more) positive changes in your life since the divorce as he has.
Though I'm always up for Jen hugs and snuggles. Here you can comfort me - my workday isn't over.
{{Jen}} Sorry you were blindsided by the feelings. Hec is right -- you've moved on in lots of ways, and real estate is much less meaningful than the things he named.
if a UTI stops hurting when you pee but your lower back starts hurting, that's pretty much Kidney Infection, Ahoy! right?
Yes. And it's time for antibiotics.
Is it okay if I get in the line to "comfort" Hecubus? Just because.

Sure, let's all get comfortable. By which I mean...
Jen, that's tough. It's gotta hurt. But -- if it didn't hurt, you'd just be a cold bitch. And you aren't. I realize that's no consolation, but I think your reaction is entirely normal. Unfortunately, it's something you have to go through. (I can't remember how you feel about brackets, so I'll just make some soothing gestures East-ward.)
Or people who honk at cars that don't turn right on red fast enough.
Oh that drives me batty! Turning right on red is optional! Optional! And when I get beeped at I will sit there until the light turns green and wave happily at the beeper. I'm a brat that way.
I am the person who beeps. I'm a total impatient-pants driver.
Jesus Jen, that sucks.
And echoing what Hec said. Also, he may be jumping into the condo purchase because he hasn't made as many positive changes.
