Technology and txt messaging: That's how clueless I am, and it sounds like she is too. Some things, I don't know about and wouldn't know where they were stored or who could read the messages.
I have to agree with Chrome and others that EA's can build through regular interactions.
Some people post the OM is out to attract Mrs. Choc. I lean toward the idea he started out just wanting to be helpful, and then both got hooked.
On another forum there are several stories of men rescuing women. At first the men want to just help, then it becomes an EA/PA. So, did OM start with the idea of just training your W and it progressed to an E/A.
If OM is a player/ego prone, MILF could be a motive.
BTW, I have read several EA stories connected to gyms. Bodies and hormones in action. That is what I see.
Choc. I am using what gets posted here to avoid some problems, fix some problems in my M. BB likes me to chase her but complains when I catch her. I am going to chase less and CATCH more.
One thing Mrs. Choc said about not being that worthy or something similar, BB also said to me yesterday.
We have this triple witching month that BB feels she is neglected. Mother's Day, Birthday, and Anniversary. I didn't used to play it up or make a big verbal fuss. I always did something appropriate for each day. BB felt neglected anyway. To her, someone always overlooked some detail of the day.
A couple of years ago I played up each day, now she tells me she isn't worth all the fuss. I said "so do something to [BE] worth the effort and attention."
FWIW; Classic example: It’s Friday and I am finally getting BB to go to Mother’s day dinner at Olive Garden. I don’t understand? No one paid enough attention to her and now it takes a week of invitations to get the job done.???????
(Maybe I need to be Jeff Foxworthy and say/ask; Jeatyet? (A common inquiry when mealtime draws nigh. "Did you eat yet? “ and just say “get’n the truk, wees a goin to that olive place.”)
Back to your situation; If everyone is doting over your W and she feels unworthy somehow, tell her to do something to be worthy.
I think the old sayings "give too much to a person, they get spoiled." (and) "Something that is worked for and earned is appreciated more than something gained to easily," applies.
