XOM was very different from me as well. And during the fantasy, she felt that he was the answer to all my shortcomings.
Yeah even if the OP is a great person, which is questionable when they are getting involved with a married person (the OW in my case was married also), I don't think any one person is the answer to everything, just as my H blaming me for all the problems in his life is kind of crazy too. I guess it takes a while for them to figure out though! Too bad they don't come here and find out sooner, huh?
NC, I'm worried about ya!!! I've been checking your thread today and it's locked (great timing!) so I can't post. I know you haven't been feeling good and hope you will post soon and let us know if you are ok or not!!! Thanks! Sorry to post on my thread about you, but I can't post on yours!!! Karen
