I'm looking forward to three days with my wife and freedom from my situation at work.

Coworker seems to have a pattern of becoming friendly with married men to stroke her ego. (I noticed just recently I'm not the only married man she targets.) I feel so stupid for falling for it.

She's started in again with her flirting. (Her signature move: Pull her hair back and over and bunch it up on one shoulder.)

I've been closed to her, but I still hate the fact that I have any feelings about her at all. I still feel tempted.

My W and I have been having some good talks about situation. She echoed a frustration I've express: That she feels like a child sometimes when we talk. She doesn't feel "good enough" to talk to me at times. I certainly don't feel like she's interested in what I have to say. Yet, I pointed out that I'm the one who acts like a child, since I've struggled with our vows and she hasn't. This made her feel better about herself and made me happy.

Any advice for me for this weekend?

Don't know what your situation is. My advice may not apply. Go out someway away from home, have a mini vacation. It maybe too late, but you never know.

Prayers with you.

john,

i know you have been very shook up about the effect this co-worker has had on you. have you internally explored why this is?? i think you have, at least i think you have touched on it, i have seen you post that you do not feel truely valued by your wife. do you agree??

what you have to realize is that this co-worker is NOT the problem. are you and your W really trying to address the true problems in your marriage??

maybe the weekend can include time together reading his needs / her needs and doing the EN questionaire.

Lord, help John and his wife open up to each other so that their marriage may grow into the type of relationship You intend it to be. Amen.

Why don't you try doing with less talking? Dancing, scrabble, hiking give you a chance to re-bond without talking about "it." "It" can come later.

obviously by the title of your post you believe in prayer and i hope the power of prayer. there are many people praying for you as well as others here. because of your request for prayer i am going to direct you to my post titled "doing what i can for as long as i can...." i posted on some good programs to listen to and some good websites to visit. please check it out, it will change your life forever, prayers to you, RR
