oh....sigh.... I think I'm doing pretty well, sem. thanks. I wasn't earlier [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]. But I am pretty well in "acceptance" right now. I know I must continue Plan A - for me and for him. And I still believe things can turn around. They may not - I know that - and I'm ready to move on if I have to. Right now - at this moment - I don't want him back! well.... sorta [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] anyway - I feel pretty good right now - just not sure of my specific plans over the next few weeks.

I've got a question for all of you. There's this one chick who keeps on sending jokes to my H in his old email account. She's theonly one who still has contact with him since our recovery now. I HATE that he gets these jokes from her. They went out on a date, and didn't hit it off, and now she lives 2 hrs away. Am I over-reacting in wanting H to email her to remove him from her list?

Well, Faith, you sound better. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] Give it time, I'm sure things will work out either way, I just hope they work out the way you want them to.

Topie,<P>I don't think so, If it were me I would do it myself, even if it were a big LB.

I should also add that there is never any personal note with the jokes. And he never responds to them.

It doesn't really bother me, though, because I know there is no interest there and he is completely open about it - he forwards me the jokes, groan... I guess it depends on the circumstances and if I saw it as a legitimate threat, I would ask him to end it. In my case, I just don't see it as a threat and asking him to put an end to it would cause more damage than the emails. <P>

P.S. these email jokes are always sent out to a GROUP with no personal note and I guess that's another reason that I don't see them as threatening.

he's a great avoider of any type of confrontation (part of what got us into our mess to begin with). I asked him to do a no contact email (simply stating that he and I are back together and her emails make me uncomfortable and to please stop). He wasn't comfortable with that at all. He blocked her from the addy, but it didn't work.. all it does is put her stuff directly into his deleted files.<P>I do think he thinks I'm overreacting. And he did try to solve the problem somewhat... it's just not enough for my satisfaction.<P>SEM: I've thought about emailing her myself. I think if I'm going to do that, I'll just wait and ask H about it first. Things are going well here, and we're both trying not to LB.

well, you know, at work, we pass around e-mails like crazy.. male, female, it doesn't matter... so... I guess the difference is that he dated her once. but if he never responds.... I don't know? If it truly bothers you, you should ask him to end it.

Dana: sounds exactly the same as my situation. I'm not worried about her being a threat at all. It's more to the point that I don't want to have any reminders of that time frame if possible. Can you relate to that?
