I read your reply to Massive Confusion and didn't want to t/j.
I think that's the first time you've ever written out the whole story in one post.
It doesn't look too good when you see it all written out like that does it? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />
The only difference with your w and me is that she kept up contact through the years but I only thought about it.
You say you wonder why she and he didn't just get together then and not marry other people (you, his w). I'm sure she really did want to marry you, I really wanted to marry Rob. There's something about the "other person" at that time you just know is not going to work out.
This is really just to say (for about the fifth time I think) that when the business is finished its finished and then you (generic you - I mean me, her) can move on.

Jen, Thanks for your continued concern.
I just didn't want MC to make the same mistake that I made. He's young he'll find someone else.
It doesn't look that good does it? lol.
I was so nervous on our wedding day. I thought it was just the usual case of jitters. I remember telling myself,"If it doesn't work out we can divorce."
In hindsight it doesn't work that way. The longer you're married the more tied together you are with history, children, parents, friends etc.
Anyway thanks again.
Mac

Gosh Mac, I saw you were on and dredged this up from page 4. LOL.
I did reply to you on Idiotville, I don't know if you saw it.

Hi Jen, Yes I saw your response. That's a few days ago so I've forgotten what we talked about.
I'm still considering my vicarious life as Massive Confusion. He has a great chance. Hope he doesn't blow it. I sense he's getting wishy washy on us.
Luckily I have 3 great kids.
Actually I've been able to put the "new" information out of the forefront of my thoughts. That helps.
In November things were so great for me. I wasn't always dwelling on the past. This whole secret friendship our entire marriage really threw me.
At times I'm ok with everything and at others I want to ask my wife questions about the "friendship."
Once again repeating myself
What's new down under?
Mac

I can't remember what I said either. LOL.
I was going to mention your kids. You wouldn't want to change them.
What's new down under? A fabulous dry, hot, hot summer. My job is going wonderfully well. I finally put the "difficult woman" in her place. Yay.
And no repurcussions whatsover from seeing the OM - I know you were worried about that. He's gone, gone, gone.
