(I hate to shop. I'm not even that fond of chocolate. Yes, I really do have the double-X chromosomes.)
Dawn, I have to say that of all that I read in your original post, this stood out the most because I too don't really like chocolate that much!!!!
Seriously, though, I can't believe how much alike our situations are.
My H is still at home, still sleeps in the same bed, still resents me and says it's all my fault, and still is seeing ow. We, too, will have long conversations where little or nothing is really resolved, because of that major point---ow contact.
He also whines about money, and buys ow flowers, and gold necklaces.
It's very doubtful that your H's ow was REALLY a virgin until they met, and then turned into a slut overnight. I can't imagine it could possibly last, it seems so bizarre to me, built upon a fantasy game, that has actually been featured on CSI.
Also, I can be quite long-winded when I write, and I have wondered fleetingly about Lorena Bobbit's method of spouse management!!
Just make sure you are buckled in for this wild and crazy stinkin' ride.
