Hi all - Tiniest of backslides last night. Went out to dinner with my H for our "date night". Had nice dinner, somehow the subject came up and I asked H if there had been any other calls or emails from OW since he sent the email. He said no. Then he mentioned on the way home that it was possible she might move back into town at some point and that he might encounter her at work or (horrors) we might encounter her when we are out together, like surfing, and wanted to discuss how we would respond. I said "You mean scratching her eyes out is not an option? " He said no, something more like " how nice to meet you". I said "can't do that, how about how INTERESTING to meet you?" Anyway, convo went well and I reemphasized to him that I am not obsessing about her and that I know I am way more woman anyway. He emphasized that she is beneath me and I don't need to waste time thinking about her.
SO the backslide - go home, have great sex, start to fall asleep. I start thinking to myself, wondering where and when he went surfing with her here on our own turf (knew he went in Hawaii) when the phone rings and there's no one on the other line. H asks who it is and knows from my response that I'm still worried about these hang-up calls being from the OW. (In the light of day I know that's silly and very unlikely, but somehow when I'm half-asleep at night it seems to make perfect sense). We let it go and we go back to sleep - no biggie, just kind of blew my cover as Miss Self-confidence 2003. I guess that's one thing we're learning here in Piecing - "We have met the enemy, and he is us".
