Welcome to our Merry Band of Wordsters, Cathcoy!  Your book selections sound great and I wish you a world of success with your work. Well, before I hit the post where you mentioned ex- anything may sound too harsh, this kept coming to mind: ex-amour...?

tsuwm, I think it's a poor paraphrase trying to pass as a quote. The nerve!
I read the whole little book this weekend and I do not see those words in it, only the quote I posted, ('hope I'm not breaking any copyright laws).

Catching up, and I see the reason I've been single for 20+ years...I married one, and realized my mistake eventually: "head over heals", indeed.
