It is natural to compare every relationship with the 'best' you ever had, but life can't go on that way. It's hard but you've got to blank that out from your memory and look at the good things that every new person brings to you. The same warmth and feeling of being at home but without thinking about your affair man.

Thanks for your message, Amandeep. I appreciate the thought to try and blank him from my mind, but I don't think that's possible. What is possible though is to remember as you say that each new person brings a unique set of traits and not to compare them to the affair partner, but to let them stand on their own.
