I don't think I will go so far as to tell my H that I understand his attachment to his EA. The BEST I can do at this point is not ask, not comment and act like I could care less when her name is mentioned.
He has made it clear that this woman is his best friend (he's known her for less than a year) and understands him in a way that no one else ever has. They can sit around and wallow in their mutual self-pity all they want. I don't care anymore. I'm pretty confident that, without my asking questions to fan the flame, that fire will burn itself out eventually.
...still hanging in there!
