Grumpyeby, You are right. That book explains it very well. I find sometimes it helps for me to imagine myself in the same place. I can well imagine how confused and difficult it would be. (Both my husband's affairs were EA's. The second a PA/"exit affair").
Joie, I'll look for that book as well (Hey, maybe I have it in my bag of books!!!).
Saffie, I'll look for your email. My daughter recently recommended "Into the Wild" to me, and she recently read "Fight Club" and liked it quite a bit as well.
There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
