ROOT, It is funny that you are suggesting planting "seeds" by asking questions. I have been thinking about this and have been looking for opportunities to do just that lately. I realized a while ago that statements and speeches do nothing but push her further away. So I stopped that a while ago. I just need to get good at recognizing opportunities to ask these "seed" planting questions.
Andy, I agree a boost to our ego would be nice. I just do not think looking for it the form of an OW attention is healthy at this point. I think that we have it in us to get our MOJO back on our own. We do not need a false boost of confidence that will wear off over time. Also, even with my M dissolving I need time to get myself on track before I am healthy enough to seek a healthy relationship with another lady.
FIB, I know that you feel you cannot help much rightnow, but words from a wise man are always welcome on my thread. You are right in that the OM is only human and he probably has not used this time and experiance to really reflect on what makes him tic. It will catchup to him and if he is with my W in the future it will catch up with both of them.
Update from last night: I hungout with my 5D at the park for awhile, got a bite to eat and then went to my softball game. My W brought our 2D out to my game where 5D I where and stayed for about 1 hour. Of course I had to show off a little bit while they where at my game - I couldn't help myself. Two homeruns while they where there. Maybe this stirred up memories for my W since she spent a lot of time watching me play baseball while we where dating. Either way she drove 45 minutes to my game to let our girls watch me play softball. I should also mention that my game started when we normally put our girls down for the night. It was nice having them there with me. Our girls had a good time and I got the chance to play catch with 5D.
I do not know what is in store for me tonight. Maybe I will get served, maybe I won't. Who knows.
