Um...

...my W bought me the T-shirt, and I'm the kind of guy that wore it 2 work the first chance I got!

I've done 1,2, and am working on 4. I've never done 3, but I sometimes think I should.

Hi 2long,

things sound great or at least today is better than yesterday.

I have a couple quick questions if that's OK.

1) Did you WW ever move out?

2) What does your WW think shook her from the fog she was in? Was it gradual or bang an awaking.

thanks.

"1) Did you WW ever move out?"

Nope. During the A, she didn't even shack up with RM all that many times. Mostly an EA. She saw him on business trips maybe 2 times a year since he moved out of state several years ago. When he lived in the area, they shared an office at grad school. He's M'd, or was at the time, and with all the other students around most of the time, I believe her when she says they were only 2gether a few times/yr the first time, 2.

"2) What does your WW think shook her from the fog she was in? Was it gradual or bang an awaking."

Well, she doesn't subscribe 2 MB, so she probably would resist describing her thinking as "foggy". She's lately said a lot of things that sound MBish, like ENs, that kind of thing. But it was gradual. So gradual that I had 2 really pay attention 2 notice the change. I guess the big break occurred when she saw him in August, for a new job she tried out but ended up 2rning down. She and I got very close then. She said she hugged him when she saw him, but he didn't re2rn it. She's emailed him a few times since then, and only since then has she started 2 really see how much that hurts. Hence the offer of NC now.

I will have 2 see whether she's really sincere enough 2 understand that I will need NC for life. Since she so recently called NC "s2pid", I will approach it carefully so that I don't shove her underground again. I want us 2 be on the same page.

thanks,

No-contact is stuipd?? she may not like the MB ideas but that sounds a little foggy to me. LOL

best of luck!!

gg:

Oh yeah, it's foggy alright. Mean, 2. But she got THIS far pretty much all by herself (with a little help from me not LBing for a long time now). She can go further.

It was full of suggestive ideas regarding what you might get the Mrs for Xmas ....

I am medicated..... that's my excuse <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Tired of feeling tired. My eyes hurt too much to read for very long.

Well, get better, dag nabbit! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

I've already got some frugal ideas for Xmas presents for the fam-units. Frugal because we're strapped while so much stuff is up in the air with the house.

This $LB stuff has some merit after all. My W is out of town yes2rday and 2day on a new job. It's amazing how weird it feels now, having her gone. Some ways I miss her a lot, but it's not the insecure, needy "miss" that it was a year or so ago. Other ways, I'm enjoying the 2uiet time, and IT'S not the same, unwinding from stress relief it was a year or so ago, more "Hey, I could so DO this 'alone but not lonely' stuff if I had 2!" I still hope not 2 have 2, though.

ol' 2long

Except it's really:

- You believe in Santa Claus
- You think Santa is fake
- You play Santa
- You look like Santa

And somewhere in the last two comes, again,
- You believe in Santa Claus.

I don't know about you, but -I- believe.

2long,
Merry Christmas,
If I was really sharp, I could say lots more nice things, but today I am kinda dull. I just wanted to say Hi, and tell you of my respect and love for you. Please have a nice holiday, think about the good things in life, not the bad, and be glad you have so much going for you. All the bad stuff will come back, but at least you will be rested.

See ya,

SS

SS:

You 2!

Thanks for the books. I'm still enjoying the first one you sent!

Getting ready 2 head out 2 some relatives for Xmas eve stuff!

Everybody have a happy Christmas and a merry New Year!
