Fooled Again,
Hey there just wanted to pop in & comment on how you were saying it is like you have seen a glimps into the MLCers mind for the first time.

I felt the same way when I got to finally realize the truth about my H's time away and what he has been doing and with who. It is totally like a teenager who is still trying to figure out who they are and fit in at all costs.

My H is also constently hanging out with younger guys, groupies, alcoholics, and druggies or gamblers. The way they all spend thier money to me is disgusting.

As your H and mine are both still in me-mode these are the people they are gonna want to be around unfortunately.

My H also has lost most all of our old friends, but I still hang with them all and refuse to stop just becuase he doesnt want to. These friends are true and were so there for me when I was all alone - i cant abandon them just to work on my M. My H also thinks that these new friends are the best and he says they give him no drama. One of these days, I think H will see them for what they are as they all start to grow up.

There are still so many similarities with in our situations - (other than - I have no kids), I just love to read your posts. So many things I am going through and thinking, you are too.

Even though my H has formally said he wants to reconcile, he still acts a lot like your H. I guess the two of us still have a long time before we will truely see the old H's attitudes & characters return. I also long to talk to H as openly as I used to, but I have to be patient.
