My STBXWH of 25 years, who has moved out and started divorce proceedings so he can be with the OW he met less than a year ago, has pretty much ruined all love songs for me.
I know, boo-hoo, there are many much worse things in the world. But I love music, especially classic rock and pop music, and let's face it - much of it is about falling in love, lusting after someone in particular, making love, or being in love. There are the especially painful songs to hear that he used to say reminded him of me and our relationship, like "Still the One" and "The Long Run," but pretty much all of them make me sad or piss me off, depending on my mood.
I don't go out of my way to listen to them, but there are certain Pandora One stations I like to listen to when I'm going on walks every night, and I find myself skipping past most of the songs. Probably just have to bite the bullet and program an iPod to only contain empowering, anthem-like songs that have nothing to do with loving anyone except yourself.

Put the internet to work for you.
