Jeff it's good that you are learning from all of this. You seemed to have a good handle on what you could do differently in the future.
At this time I really wouldn't make many plans with her. Don't set yourself up for dissappointment and you said it yourself, don't give her too much info.
Be mysterious, but happy and upbeat. You don't have to return her calls so readily. Remember you are off having fun on your own.
Hangover with OM doesn't sound like much fun. If all he is, is party fun that will get old soon.
Be her friend right now. She seems to see you that way right now. You do have your life Jeff. It will never be like it was, and the wonderful magic that was in the beginning of your M is gone, but you can build a better M.

This morning she blurted out that she thinks she wants to rent because she is not sure and needs to think clearly. Just got home from work 1 am and she is not home she has my dog as well. She may be at OM but nothing I can do.
I am taking everyones advice and back way off I will tell her I am going out but no more than that and I will plan to be busy. Feels like back to square one. I know that we have all experienced this. Trapt I remember reading some pretty good stuff there for awhile and I know your W is back and forth, I have to keep this in mind and do what works.

Your not back at square one. It may feel like it, but it is a part of the process. It seems like both our wives swing back and forth so fast.Hey they are confused, that is a whole heck of a lot better than if they were just indifferent and totally done. Can you imagine if they got together and hung out man? That would be kind of funny.
We both have to remember that it is not us. When they do get close, it makes them think "hey I like this guy he is fun kind and caring, why do I feel this way then??" "could it be me??" OH NO they can't have any of that. How could it possible be them? So they bolt again, and again. Just try to keep from swinging with them. Take care of you, and remember she will most likely swing back again.
