Randomness
I'm having a random evening.

After two years of not seeing or having any contact whatsoever with my ex-wife (the 16-day marriage (referenced previously here due to secrets / items unshared etc), not the seven-year one) I saw her again when we were both waiting for the same thing. I didn't try to talk to her for no other reason than that I was tongue tied and didn't know what to say without sounding like a complete and total ass.

So here's the problem / question for the off-topicy community.

She has (objectively) caused me vast amounts of pain (emotional and physical) and loss (material - around GBP34K by a conservative estimate) in the past two years but by the same token seeing her again made me realise that even though I'm on some serious medications (300mg / daily of venlafaxine) and even though I've been working hard to try to forget her - I'm *still* crazy about her and I love her with all of my heart and my soul.

Blast and damn it.

So, mes ami, here's the question courtesy of SurveyMonkey.

More info please?
Before you break you heart again?

(Gut instinct says don't bother with her again, but it's hard to know for sure sans details.)

Don't do it
I mean it, don't contact her. That way madness lies.

This fella ere's ^ right
don't do it.
It'll never be as good as you imagine, and the crapness will increase exponentially.

As the old saying goes....the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else!

Never go back
You split up for a good reason and you've been caused a huge amount of pain - emotionally and financially.

Time to move on. You *will* meet someone else when you're ready.

She's out of your life, don't go chasing pain.

I'd like to add my two pence...
What they all said.

In my experience, the vast majority of people who break up and get back together again don't last the distance.

Would you really put yourself in danger of being hurt and taken advantage of again?
