Well ladies, if I may interrupt for but a moment. PM, it sounds as though you're doing really great. If I were you I'd feel no shame at all in the fact that your H and his trout are arguing. The guilty pleasures are those that feel the most sweet. I have no idea if my W has moved on to another R yet although I hope not. I do want her to struggle just a bit though to see that life isn't all fluffy bunnies and rainbows. I don't think that makes me a malicious person at all. I just want her to regret her decision to leave. She needs to do that before she even gets close to the idea of moving home. Just as your H has to realise that the OW isn't perfect. That's why the fighting is a good thing and you should feel no shame at all in enjoying it.

It sounded as though you were doing a great job of blanking him out when he came past yesterday. I smile at the thought of you speeding around on your D's scooter! It'll be good for your H to keep seeing that side of you too. I think something we're all guilty of from time to time is acting awkward around our spouses in the fear of doing something wrong. For them to see us as attractive people we have to show them our fun sides. Kids are a great way to show that without having to directly interact with our wayward spouses. I know for my part I struggle to think of fun things to say when I'm talking with my W. When I'm talking to anyone else it comes easily and I can normally get someone laughing but not her. It's easy to run around and play with Wee Man in front of her though. That's the fun image I want her to see.

So, keep it up PM. Balnk your H but keep it free of rudeness and project the fun side of yourself at every opportunity. Keep smiling!! Now more than ever.
