Yesterday two of my friends that I teach with went to visit another one of our coworkers whose mother had passed away. We've all been pretty busy this summer and haven't really had time to see each other.
They were asking me how things were going for me and my H. I told them that he continues to come around and then withdraw and he can't let go of OW. One of my friends told me that her brother left his wife for OW. She said they ended up getting married, but that he was far from being happy. My friend then said, "But how could they be happy? My brother seems to be very embarassed that it's not as great as he thought it would be".
Isn't it too bad that they can't figure out that even though they may think they have found the perfect person that the person will also have flaws? When you get down to it, they are even more flawed because they chose to get involved with a married person. Wouldn't it be better to try to work out your marriage then trying to find happiness with the new "wonderful soul mate" that you will soon find out isn't as perfect as they thought they were?
Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect or even always logical world.
Hang in there, we are all thinking of you.
