I know this phrase is easier said than truly felt, but the truth is, the pain we feel is always where we are arguing with reality. We are telling ourselves a story that it shouldn't be this way, or we shouldn't have done certain things, or she shouldn't have done certain things. As much as possible, Phil, try and put your focus on things that are this way, and you're going to turn whatever the situation is into the greatest opportunity that you can to go forward. We can literally do nothing about yesterday, so try and stay in the present moment. Don't beat yourself up for things you've missed or not done, or try not to argue in your head with the current situation. Also remember, the sale of a house doesn't define a future relationship, although of course it symbolises that for you right now. It may also later symbolise other new possibilities.
