When H and I first went to MC after Dday (the phony "act" he was putting on at the time), he got upset when I brought up his "affair".....he actually said, quite disgustingly, "She needs to stop calling it an 'affair'. She makes it seem like its some dirty, seedy, back alley motel thing...."

AWWWWW...poor thing....

During the Affair, he REFUSED to call it an affair, instead he called it a "fantasy"..."It wasn't real"....."a connection".....

maybe they lose part of the dictionary in the fog????....
