I'd love to be the life of the party. Just don't think I can pull it off. I think pulling back and letting W know she's f*cked up her closest friendship is a more reliable strategy. She already admits she can't talk to anyone like she does with me. Now she just needs to be alone and realize that loneliness + not connecting with OM = figuring things out.
Here's to low tide. I may be alone but I'm getting a hell of a lot of stuff done. Hacked the cr*p out of the rose bushes today. Who plants the entire yard with rose bushes?! This is definitely a long-term project. And ivy - who thought that would be a good thing to let loose in a yard?!
Hi, Lodo,
I've posted this before, but I honestly think my wife missed the loss of my "best friendship" more than she did my affection. We pretty much had a sex-starved, affectionless marriage anyway, and she'd long since taught herself to be a "sexual camel" in that regard.
But she REALLY missed having someone to talk to about her job, her day, her life, and when I pulled that waaayyyyy back (just treating her like I'd treat a roommate), it really, REALLY got to her.
