Last night on TV Tom Selleck's character asked another character jokingly "I know you're married, but would you consider having an A with me?" She responded "I'll put you on the list." Just a joke, and neither was serious. Still...
Since WW's A I find that kind of talk nauseating. Not to mention 'Desperate Housewives'. Okay I've never actually watched that one, but the talk is scary.
Am I overly sensitive? Is anyone with me?

A#1 start May'05, WW told me June'05 but would not say OMs identity. Aug'05 found out OM ident. Sep'05 exposure & NC. In-house separation, D threats+attorney.
Oct'05 one-night stand with OM2
Oct'05 WW started A with OM3. Dec'05 Dday and NC.
Dec'05 I consulted D attorney. Late Dec'05 back in the masterBR. Recovering.
Late'07 started seeing OM1 again. Says 'its just lunch'. Yeah right.

Yep, you're overly sensitive. So are all of us, I think. It never used to bother me, I just chalked it up to idiot writers, but now it cuts to the bone.

Help, I don't think you are being over sensitive considering your d-day is so recent. Since these "very light" references to A's have been so consistent in all areas of media they don't bother me. I am much more intrigued by a more in depth look at an A. I look for where the authors/directors might have missed the mark. I was watching the movie "Quiz Show" when a reference was made to an A that happened 8 years earlier. It was suggested that that amount of time had just about erased the impact of d-day. But having been here I know that nothing could be farther from the truth. Sadly I feel like I have a PhD in this stuff sometimes and I wish I didn't.

That's really depressing news WOE. But I need to hear it.
Did ya see the Richard Gere/Diane Lane flick from a few months ago? Forgot the title. 'Unfaithful' maybe? I don't know why such movies (Blockbuster is full of B-movies on the A theme) usually involve murder or violence. Some people may feel like getting violent, but - I agree - a more realistic look would be a really good thing.
Nice quote in your sig line, what's it from?

my parents are 10 years past and both of them can talk about it without it hurting now. My mom says she never has a moment anymore where it hurts...she said it took a good 3-4 years to get down to one a year though (painful moment). i think to think that possibly Sprint and I will be there in 8-10 years too <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> as for TV - yep - it actually sickens me. Those things used to never bother me and I saw them as entertainment, - now they just bother me to watch as they seem so accepted, so cavalier, so "hollywood"...
