<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Keep Smiling:<BR><B>Orchard,<P>Do you ever tell any of your friends or co-workers about the A, or what is going on between you. <P>Do you ever ask the same questions over and over? SEM does, I guess he doesn't think I'm telling the truth, I don't know though.<P>Thanks Sherry</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Hi Sherry,<P>I am glad you were able to follow my illustration. It was not meant to frighten just explain the BS's feelings of frustration and confusion. <P>In response to your question, yes, my boss and a few at work do know. Reason: I had anxiety attacks at work. I was crying for many weeks. My job carries lots of stress and I still had to get everything done regardless of the problems in my personal life. So those that were taken into my confidence were there to support me. <P>About the questions, SEM needs reassurance. This is a vital requirement in recovery. It may seem like the same questions over and over (and very well may be), but to the BS it is different. It is the question of the day. Are you still in love with the O? Is it really over? Did you communicate with the OP today? <P>These are not repetitious questions, the are current for the BS. Reassurance helps them settle. Recovery can be very unsettling for the BS and Ws. <P>I am glad you are still here and hope you both continue to work towards recovery. <P>L.

This is sennswifeinpa 10 years ago. Nothing much has changed.

Mixed up my threads. Not worth posting the thought.
