Kip, thanks for commenting on my thread. Seems as though the new year is not off to a very auspicious start for my M. W has totally shut down in the last few days. Just told me that she'll be "running errands" til around dinnertime -- that's code for her meeting OM. It seems as though we're right back where we were last March; so it'll be one year soon. When we started C in June, the target date for some resolution of the situation was to be January 2003. During most of the C, W denied A, tho later admitted to it, so I guess much of the C was a waste of time and money, since it wasn't based on honest communication.

Her current behavior is reminiscent of how she was acting when she first admitted to an EA. I guess the pressure and emptiness she feels due to missing him just got to be too much. But, I repeat: I will not be drawn into this third-rate soap opera!

I'm still calm and poised about the sitch, but, frankly, I'm getting tired of dealing with it and am very tempted to move on in a different direction. As we approached the new year, I decided to give it one more year; but it seems as tho we're back to Square One, so why bother any longer?

In view of developments, I'm questioning whether I should even be on this "Piecing" forum. I thought that we were piecing, but the only evidence I have of piecing, frankly, is that we're both still under the same roof.
