Hi Starshyne,

Nice to know I'm not alone. This is hard - I'm so unsure of what I should do.

Last night W came home earlier than I expected. She was working, so I did my own things, but went to see how it was going after awhile. She was emailing OM - didn't make a show of hiding it, but closed the window fairly soon. This morning she was withdrawn and let me hug her, but didn't hug back.

My gut tells me that her saying she can't "choose" and her periods of withdrawness have to do with her attraction to OM, even though she said it's over.

So even though she's back home and keeps making small signs that she wants to work on things, I don't know how realistic that is at the moment. Do I confront her and ask her to leave? Or do I continue being a friend and let her work things out on her own?

I guess I was more inclined to confront when we were still S, whereas now I feel like I need to show friendship and patience. I'm scared, though, that we'll just drift along like this until we really drift apart.

But, that's not PMA, so I'm going to focus on the friendship! lodo
