I noticed in one of your posts you said a "fantasy". Just wondering if your feelings have changed since previously you had metioned that it definitley was not a fantasy?

dj,<P>There are different aspects of fantasy. The love I felt for the OW was not a fantasy. But the fantasy was that I thought I could be happier with her than with my wife. The fantasy was in not realizing that any relationship takes work, whether its with my wife or with the OW.<P>Many betrayers say that even the love they felt was not real. That it was just the "high" experienced by the addiction of the affair.<P>--andy
