Not so much different than many LBSes. There is a wanting what we can't have, like an addition. I saw an interesting article in a magazine about the science of love, and in some people, parts of the brain that are activated in addition are active in some people that can't get over a break up.
Curious comparison... I didn't think of it from a LBS point of view. It is definitely along the lines of an obsession for her right now, more than anything else. Maybe she'll get over it one day; maybe not. I really can't see a whole lot of good coming from it, but she'll have to live with her own decisions.

Oh, I spent the time when she was talking to him getting utilities and other things setup for my new house. I'm planning on getting out of there ASAP. I'm really not sure if she is 'using me' or not - She doesn't seem to be trying to get much our of our R right now.
She really does need space. I think once I move, I'm really going to back off her and not initiate much contact - Our schedule with D is really setup so we don't have to even see each other if we don't want to.

I guess time will tell - She's got to get to the point when she realizes she's wasting her time and her life, right? I know she has had instances in the past when she wants nothing to do with OM, then a week later she'll be right back where she was before. I guess eventually it'll burn out, or one of them will get tired of it.
