Where the myth enthusiasts completely lose me is their insistence that Lincoln never loved again and spent the rest of his life mourning and pining for Ann Rutledge...

That's what I believe respectively don't believe, too. Most people have a first "big" love they don't marry, and thoroughly suffer when this first relationship ends for whatever reason, but nevertheless love their later spouse more and dearly.
