On an Ex Who Did No Evil
"I think the best way is to treat him as if he was a character in a
story, almost. For you, he is in some ways…dead. It is a beautiful
memory, and it will be hard to forget completely. But if each time you
think of him, think as if it was a long time ago. As if you can no
longer go back to him, almost as if it happened to someone else in a
movie you saw. Change your heart from thinking about you and him to
more of thinking of it as something you have left behind, such as
remembering a band you liked when you were in middle school or
something. You can enjoy the memories, but it’s not for you anymore.
Does that help?"—myself, in an email to a female acquaintance.

Nice! I like your take on this...unique. I like it. It is so much easier to deal with and you will be far more logical if you can remove yourself from the situation. Brilliant.Thank you!
