Interesting list of signs:

** Justifying an EA

** Reasoning that jolly time with Lunch Me equates to happier family time with W
Lunch Me sneaking around

** Getting excited with the slightest contact that happens between you and Lunch Me

** Seeing Lunch Me in wonderful light (religious, ideal wife and mother) as opposed to attention-seeking, self-esteem lacking, pretentious, dishonest lunch pal

** In denial that someone is getting hurt from all of these

** Cake-eating as you want to keep W’s love at the same time enjoy the emotional benefits of Lunch Me’s company

C, no need to be cautious. You’re not about to get into an affair.

You’re already in it.

Nothing we say will get to you nor have any effect you. You’re in some impregnable place called La-la-land.

So make it easy for yourself and pursue where your heart or other parts of your anatomy is tugging you. The more we stop you, the more you will see Lunch Me as some forbidden fruit that is acceptable as it can give off intense pleasure.

GO AND CONSUMMATE YOUR AFFAIR. ENJOY IT TO THE FULLEST. No need to feel wrong about it. No need to feel guilty as well – when people start getting hurt, no amount of your guilt will even matter to them anyway.

At the end of the day, if your affair makes you lose the things that truly matters to you (your W, your job, your self, your integrity), then the next best thing has just happened - you have no one to blame but yourself.

You love yourself too much and then threaten us all with your suicide. Please - if you ever need someone to push you off that building, consider me a volunteer.

Your friend (believe it or not)

PS- Promise we will never be sexual

My H started his EA by having lunch with OW. It got to be 2 times per month, not often, but then it was supplemented by conversation in the office and e-mail when he moved to another office. By the way, he sought advice from her on how to treat me better! She helped him to be a better H! They supported each other to be better people.

Now my H says the legacy is pain and shame.
