A year to the day and still feel this way progress and regress

My breakup ... big blowup kick me out was a year ago
Yesterday. She abandoned the dog we adopted together
Which now bothers me more than anything she did to me
Was I perfect absolutely not. But I loved her and wanted
To right every wrong that had ever been perpetrated
Against her. Do I love her probably. I haven't seen her
Since that day. She hid her new relationship . they are still
Together. He's a much older man and not much to look at
I miss the kids most of all. Being their stepdad loving their
Mom gave me an identity. And truth be told would be dead
Right now if it wasn't for those kids. I have a hard time
Letting go completely. Thought I had reached that place
Of being over it. I saw a picture the other day of them and
They both have appeared to put on alot of weight. I'm a
Bodybuilder and she was thick girl and she often made a
Big deal about my appearance and hers and oddly enough
The dad bod thing really reminds me of her with this guy.
I tried everything I could to love her and the kids and have
The life I thought we wanted. Am I mad this guy has that
Life ... oddly not I want her to be happy... I wanted it to be
With me. I dont know if I'll see her again... I blocked her on
Fb... changed my number but have the same emails so who
Knows. The fact remains regardless of the love I feel for
Her and the promises I made... I am quite sure I couldn't
Take her back. And any space she would take in my life
Would be to see the kids. I haven't been the same since
That relationship . I have no interest in sex whatsoever
I'm.much more quiet and reserved than I have ever been
I found out the dog we adopted that she abandoned found
A good home and they sent pics... and so I adopted a new
One and he has been a blessing. Now I work I lift weights
And day dream about nothing in particular. There are times
I still blame.myself for things but also recognize some of
Unhealthy things she did. I have a problem with
Acceptance... my family friends I felt never truelly accepted
And with her I did... I wanted kids w her and would have at
One time fought and died for her and the kids. But the lies
And crises that seemed to always pop up when I wasn't
Around ... I actually believed someone tried to abduct her
And that someone tried to break into our apartment one
Morning when I had already left for work... I realize now
They were lies or at very least a gross exaggeration of the
Events. I want to feel nothing for her... and would not bother
Me if she got roughed up a lil bit... I would like for her to
Realize she perjured the heart of a man who would have
Brought her the head of the John the Baptist had she
Requested it but I would like to see the kids and until that
Dies I can't help but not love their mother even if it was
A facade

Your story mirrors mine exactly save for not having a dog
be strong friend you will shine again and without lots of therapy she will not change the next man will go through the same its not about her partners its about her
