I just keep thinking how Harley tells us it's how the OP makes the WS "feel about themselves" that is a fundamental driving force in this addiction.

Mimi, perhaps ask yourself the question "what does my husband want or need to feel about himself".

I know a good percentage of males top ENs are SF and admiration ... and personally I think those two closely tie together for some males.

I've kept up with your story Mimi from the beginning. I'm wondering if your recent fear-based feelings are instinctual and that you may need to re-access your former WH's ENs, and he yours?

Ride 'em cowgirl!

In all honesty, I was triggered at one time by VS catalog because H bought OW something there ... but I took control over this trigger and now I doubt H remembers or cares very much about the past cuz I've been too attentive for him to have any time or desire to let his mind wander... ya know what I mean Mimi? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
