Sad part, prior to this she was the most loving, caring person I have ever known.

How many times have we said or heard this?

Being a logic-based person, it seems to me that there should be a cut-off point, a deviation from the path so to speak, where you can trace back what happened in an affair, where the 'real' person turned into the alien.

Would that we could invent a BS detector, like you could hang it on the living room wall, and whenever someone with...impure thoughts walks by, it goes BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

The emergency squad is called out, the mediators, and you have to sit down right then and there and hash it all out before the WS progresses down that path into waynerd territory.

Once they get there, you have so little control.

*sigh* This is all so depressing. But it seems like if we could find a way for couples to stay in that 'honesty' area, where you're still willing to tell each other the truth, well...

Cat,
I have had a day today.......

I just read your post and I swear I am laughing my butt off. All I can picture is Wil Smith dressed in his suit and "ray gun" coming to the rescue.
Maybe we all could hire the Men In Black squad.

On a serious note, you would be a very wealthy person bringing your invention to market. And that folks, is real sad.

I am not kidding. I told my xWW the same thing. As soon as someone touched her, all the alarm bells located at all the strategic locations will go off !

Oops! I knew I forgot something! The post I started with should be attributed to kickme, lol. (or sadly enough) But I suppose it could just as well be quoted from dozens of other people here.

Anyway, yeah! Men in Black!

Ooh, I know. We could print out one of those little cards like they do for heart attacks, with the tips to remind yourself what to keep an eye out for.

Needing 'space', new cellphones, passwords, long IM's, shutting down computer pages, long drives, lots of overtime, becoming 'mean', odd comments like "you'd be better off without me".

That sort of thing??? grumble

There's a CHANGE in the EYES...even in the STEP...the slow conversion into an ALIEN BEING...at this point, maybe just brief phone conversations and/or bringing a snack by her office...YUCK... puke
