HI All,<BR> I had to call W today (first time in 7 days) to see if the house she's buying w/ OM had gone threw. I wanted to know so I could get her stuff in a UHAUL for her so OM's son or any other scumbag that goes along with them wouldn't come in my house.<BR> I WOULD have to bury a golf club in someone's forehead if the WRONG thing was said!! [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] (I'm not really like that)<P> Anyway, I figured W would act "cold" in front of OM BUT SHE DIDN'T!!<P> SHE WAS SOOOOO SWEET!! She told me everything that had gone on in the last week in a REAL SWEET voice. And kept me on the phone for 45 minutes asking me things and telling me things about her week??? I had to tell her I had to go and she said, "Oh, OK" "Yah you should before you hit traffic" I told her to call me IF and when it closed. W said "OK but you probably won't have time huh?" I said we'll see. <P> What's up with that? I always thought she would act cold so OM wouldn't get mad at her (what a joke huh?)<BR> She calls all the time but NEVER NEVER when OM's around. Will normally abruptly hang up if he walks in the room!!<P> So WHY so nice now? Is she wanting to get him jealous? Or MAD enough to have a fight with him? The house didn't close so MAYBE she's "thinking" about it NOT being the right thing after all? This is the SECOND property they tried to buy and the first fell though after 2 months. She told me she asked GOD to send a sign about the first one that if it DIDN'T close she was making a BUG mistake. Of course OM talked her out of THAT. But NOW MAYBE???? She's having second thoughts? It still will close but was the delay enough to get her to "THINK?"<P> LMK WHAT YOU GUYS THINK?? I'M BAFFLED AT THE REASON SHE WAS SO SWEET IN FRONT OF OM?? Any ideas? THANKS FRANK<P>------------------<BR>desperate<BR>"If yesterday didn't stop today, Why should TODAY stop tomorrow??" <BR>"Wisdom is why!!"<P>

Frank,<BR>sorry to be a downer here, but don't read too much into it. She may just be feeling secure that she can talk to without any emotion just to show om she can do it.<P>My EW went away for a few days early on and tried to get om to accompany her and he had car troubles, so she took it at as sign from God not to leave us. That lasted about a week.<P>Until they leave the op, we really don't have a chance.<P>Bob<P>------------------<BR>"You can't always get what you want!

WilliamJ,<BR> It was funny because she asked for the sewing machine, BUT she said I could have the Leather couch we have been going back and forth for. She didn't mention OM BUT I know he was there because he handed her the phone.<BR> In the past if I called there, OM said let me see, and then NO. He ALWAYS lied because she told him to. And W NEVER in 3 months has talked to me with OM there.<P>

RWD,<BR> I thought of that BUT she DID have emotion in her voice, almost a soft SEXY tone like when we were together (in good times) Defenitly like talking to MORE than a friend!! That's why I thought to get him jealous. That COULD bacfire though I know it would PI** me off if I were him!! LBs I hope!!!<P> He may have left the office to smoke BUT she and I talked for 45 minutes so it would be a long smoke!! Either way, it was FUN to ask for "MY WIFE" [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] FRANK<p>[This message has been edited by PLEASE HELP (edited December 18, 1999).]

Sounds to me like she's "playing" you both to leave her options open. It may not be an intentional thing on her part, so the word "playing" may seem too strong. But she DOES waffle and this is all a part of it. <P>I agree with RWD--don't read too much into it right now. Just keep trying!

That is great. Don't try to figure out the reason she was so sweet. Remember, when this is going on normal reason doesn't apply. Just enjoy the great times, and this sounds like one of them. I have my fingers crossed that she is coming to her sences.<BR>Viki

Hey, you KNOW what I think. Take this as a reason to keep doing what you're doing. Waffling, but a baby step and a little sign that something may be sinking in.<P>Keep up the good work, Frank!!<P>Lori

When I talk to my wife at work. OM is her boss. She always leaves the room. She doesn't want him to know that she is talking to me. I wonder if she is playing me or not. Sometimes I think she is weighing the pros and cons of coming home. I am in Plan A for a month and a half. Just keep on depositing in he love bank. I have seen progress in mine. Didn't think I ever would. Good luck. Maybe she will come to her senses before too long. You are in my prayers.

Lucks,<BR> No doubt she's "playing" us both!! I'm not too hopeful, I've learned my lesson the HARD way too many times!! I get her to the one yardline and BOOM! I get a 90 yard penalty!! So I march down the field again!! <P> Viki,<BR> She definatly isn't acting "Normal!!" Thanks for the fingers!!<P> Hey Lori, <BR> Thanks anything today?<P> Dfloyd01,<BR> THAT'S WHAT I MEAN!! My W NEVER EVER wants OM to know that she's talking to me!! That's why I question her motive THIS time!! Thanks for your prayers, you and ALL here are ALWAYS in mine!!<P> Any others? THANKS FRANK
