Maybe not too complicated to understand

[Michael Mc C]

I spoke to her mom today who got me back on track in my thinking. Let's face it, I was able to pull her back from the brink (at least a little bit of the way) while he was out of the picture. One advantage that I have is that I'm here and he is not. However, with her back in full "gotta have him" mode, I haven't figured out what options I have.

I will continue to be upbeat and positive in my life. Her mother told me that she thinks he's playing her. That regardless of what he is saying, he won't come up this way. He is getting something out of making her feel this way, she is an easy target because she is so vulnerable.

I agree with my MIL to some extent. On Friday he saw once again that she was feeling weak, he flexed his muscle, and she came running. Still, I wonder if he's just as miserable in his marriage and wanting to feel the blind relief of being with someone new, regardless of what it will do to everyone involved.

I knew she was still vulnerable. I know that she's afraid to continue in our marriage even though things were going so well. Her doubts were strong enough to allow her to be pulled away once again.

Wife told me they were going to discuss plans today for getting together but apparently he is having some budget concerns and not sure when he can make it up. I still feel it's inevitable for him to come but that may be my fear of her taking this too far than anything else.

If he comes to visit he said he'll bring his 4 year old son.

Hooray
