The Jealousy Button (men only)

[Kakatal]

Gucci - very interesting topic.

My SBXW has thrown away her m & kids to plan a life with the OM. Has been away on 2 "vacations" to Alaska to rendezvous with Mr Wonderful. 3rd trip is planned Feb 6-22. For 1st 4-5 months I DB, tried to show her how much I had changed, etc - all the stuff that just wasn't going to work since she was emotionally invested in OM. New year hit & I finally accepted she wasn't coming back & decided to move on & be happy. Not interested in dating but not going to become a monk either if opportunity arises!

All along I have had a great confidant of the opposite sex I talk to daily about the sitch who lives in Sacramento - 8 hrs away from me. Had to go to a weekend meeting there back in Sept & brought my kids with me. She met my kids, we all did a few things together, all had a good time - nothing romantic. My son has brought her name up to my SBXW a few times so SBXW knows of her existence.

I also have gotten reconnected with a high school classmate from FL who has taken an interest in me. She is planning on coming out to visit me Feb 16-19. Had to inform SBXW that I needed MIL to take kids overnight those days since I have company coming from out of town to stay & did not want to expose kids to any new people. No details other than that.

Now mind you OM has been helping pay SBXW's bills, bought her a boob job, pays for plane tix to AK. She has every intention of moving to be with OM in Sept 09. She should be happy & content she is getting everything she wants. You would figure what I do would not matter to her.

Through a mutual friend, she disclosed that she is bothered with fact I am having company - speculating it is friend from Sac. She has made a couple comments to me about it - saying that she assumes my visitor is a woman, etc. I just smile & nod my head. Personally I am relieved that she will be out of town to avoid any problems. Have a feeling it will be on her mind during her next vacation.

Just wanted to use my sitch as an example that jealousy still rears it head to a WAW such as mine. Nothing wrong with having your ego stroked & self-esteem replenished.

If you don't want to date then take a trip to your local gentlemen's club - sure ladies there are after your money but they sure know how to make you feel better about yourself!
