They're attracted to what we got that they don't. Isn't that one of the constants of human nature? Mine dated a lot of guys before me, dropped them like hot rocks when she was though with them. I was "different", represented stability, integrety, values, family (which she was ready to start). Since she has reverted to adolsence, she is now behaving like she did before me. Kinda makes sense, doh!
Bombadier,
Detatch man, detatch. She is already gone. You can't do anything to help or stop her. She has served notice of her intentions and therefore feels more than justified in her actions. She has also recently been "busted" by her son and faced that fear so there is really nothing (if there ever was) to hold her back or slow her down. I'm advising you to detatch for your sake, not hers. Involvement in what she is doing will only serve to hurt you. Think of you W as posessed, on vacation, dead, mentally ill, whatever it takes but detatch.
"The answers are within you" (can't remember who). Unfortunately, so is the bullshit.
