After she responded to my diatribe, I told her that I can certainly see a change in her over the past couple months. I then say that when we had our brief sessions of marriage counseling last year, she said something to me that I have not forgotten. She explained that she had the brief fling in '05 because at the time, she didn't like herself and wanted to be someone else. Anyone but herself. I pointed out to her today that when she explained that to me last year, it made a lot of sense and really helped me understand, as best I could, why she did what she did. I go on and say that this is the same thing I saw in her last year, after our separation. I thought she was acting exactly the same way, and now, it seems to be totally different. She seems to have returned to normal.
