Just keep on rocking. Stay busy, cultivate your new life and you will be fine. Divorce is never easy. You may think your cool for short periods, but deep down it hurts. Nothing wrong with that. It will get better over time and while there will always be regrets, it is for the best. On a lighter note, how is RE4 going????

It's always a pain looking back on old memories...bad or good, thay always affect you somehow...

Hang in there. It'll get better. It's no fun what your going through, but I'm sure it's just part of the process. We'll be thinking about you.

come on man, don't give up! hey, i'll cheer you up!

You guys rock!

Trevor, I have a saved game right before I fight two El Gigantes in a room with a pool of lava/molten something. I've figured out how to dispose of the one and I have saved my rocket launcher for the other. I'm debating whether or not to do that (thereby conserving all of my ammo and not taking a single slice off my health) or to try and duke it out "ye olde fashion way" with the remaining El Gigante. I'll have to compare strategies with Stacy when we sit back down to play the game

Don't worry, B, I'm going through a tough time also, just think happy thoughts.

And about RE4, I duked it out with the other Gigante. If I needed room, I always went on the zipline -- probably more times than I needed to. And for the rocket launcher, I suggest keep it. Use it only if you have enough money to buy a new one, because you're going to need it for a certain boss soon later on.

Dont use the rocket launcher. There is a better and more ammo efficient way to do it. I will let you figure it out. That is a very cool battle.

OK, I agree with everyone, but...wherez teh pikks???

I'm never anything but blown away by the ability of this community to reach out to those who are having a rough time of it.

The best thing I can say is that at least you recognize the issue and have an understanding of it. I have to admit I wondered how Stacy leaving town would affect you, since you two seem like close friends (from waht I've read), so this doesn't come as terribly surprising from my point of view. Hope you feel better soon.

Stay positive. I think Trevor put it best, time does indeed heal all wounds. That broken relationship is over and done with. Keep on moving forward like you have been for the last year. Go back and read some of those journal entries you made last year this time and see how far you have come. If you can part with them toss the pics of your ex and if you can't give them to a friend or your parents to keep at their house. That way you can still hang on if you want without having reminders really close to you. Go out and do something exiting or different with Stacy or other friends on what would have been your anniversary. Start a new tradition to take the place of the old. I wasn't divorced but I was engaged once before and did a few of these things to help myself stay cheerful.
