Hey KAW. I was wondering where you disappeared to...

Jethro, you have always amazed me with your preceptions!
Awww...shucks. You humble me, my friend.

In trying to understand why (and there seems to be many plausable theories), I starting to entertain the possibliity that W's journal may be a means for her to deal with her feelings for OM and release them, let them go, so she can move on to be happy in our M ... either that or setting myself up big time?!
Are you suggesting that she never called him and such...that it's just a fantasy she's playing out in her mind/journal?

Your reaction to your W running into OM isn't all that odd, KAW. I did the same thing last Thursday when my W ran into OM. I asked EXACTLY what you did...well, I also asked if he touched her (like in a hug). I know, a bit compulsive.

In terms of why your W felt "emotional" about running into OM, hmmm... You know, why don't you ask her? I mean, she DID tell you. Perhaps just tell her you were thinking about it and wondered why. I say this because her response could be two vastly different things--guilt about what she's done to you or old feelings resurfacing. It just might provide you two an opportunity to grow...by talking about her feelings...especially if your theory is correct. I know you don't want to give her a reason to bring up any topics that can lead to D-talk, but it's just as possible that it might bring you guys closer together. Just a thought... I have found that oftentimes the most painful discussions are the ones that bring us closest together...that they really do offer an opportunity to gain deeper understand of one another...

her side of the family didn't show

W made the comment that it wasn't meant to be for her to have what she wants
Couldn't help but notice something here. Is your W still carrying around a load of junk from her childhood (hence her depression)? Is her family undependable? I know KAW's dependable, but maybe she doesn't know what to do with a dependable KAW. Sorry...just jumped out at me...

Take'r easy, KAW. Thinkin' about you, bud.
