Looking to do some self-educating on private equity firms. What is a good way to learn about the different strategies that funds use, different operating models, etc? I have a rudimentary level of knowledge, but I want to be able to do more deep dive type of reading.

Thanks!

I was married for 3 years & she left 1 day bc she realized that she was no longer “happy”. A week later, I caught her in a parking lot w/ her coworker & finalized the divorce. In my mind she was perfect in every way except for the infidelity. After 8 months of therapy and on and off dating, I got into a new relationship but I became commitment phobic & see flaws when I compare my ex to my new gf. 1yr has passed now and I still feel like I’m settling and not mad in love. Wwyd? 2y since divorce.
