Got this e-mail from MOW after she heard about a friend's confrontation of me about her:


</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">What Your friend said is true. All of it, even the part about me. So, you will need to look beyond the smoke and mirrors and see what things really look like. Hearing this was hard for me because I did not see our situation like the one you had before,[W's A] but you know, it makes sense. Trust me, my intentions were not to have you repeat your past. I just thought that I was comforting you, but I think that I have done more harm than good and I hope that you can forgive me. I would like to be a friend that brings you joy and not pain. I would like to be able to sit in a room with you and that special person in your life and be happy for you without any remorse. I would like for us to just be true friends. I am sorry for everything that I have done wrong in my marriage and throughout our friendship. Maybe we can start over and be friends.
Thanks,

MOW</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">NC plus the the realization that A's have consequences seem to be clearing te fog a bit. I think if we had gone farther with our interactions it would have become an uncontrollable monster. I'm relocated job sites and the nighttime visits have ended. I'm back to my life, loving my kids, and mourning the end of my M.

She thinks that we can hit some 'reset button' and ignore the line we crossed. she doesn't get that the line was an emotional one. Sure we can keep our hands off each other--I did that for 20 years while with my ex--but can we honestly be the kind of friends her H shouldn't worry about?

I don't think so. I'm sorry about that b/c it could have been a good friendship if we didn't let our weaknesses and desires ruin it.

Well that u r the smarter of the 2. Which makes me respect you more than her kind.

To think she can walk the line again and not burn or get burned, shows she hasn't really learned her lesson yet. That makes her kinda dangerous, doncha think? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />
