I also have begun to wonder if there isn't an OW. Someone who made him feel special and gave him the "star eyes" he needed to be able to break away from me. He bought a prepaid cellphone prior to him leaving. I am unsure when that happened. I don't think it was a PA as he didn't do the typical showering all the time, doing his hair, and other MLC type stuff. I just think it gave him the emotional boost he needed to justify his leaving. She made him feel smart and like he was interesting. Things I haven't done in a very long time and I only have myself to blame.
"It is excruciating pain. It is the pain of separation, the pain of loss, the pain of dreams and expectations unrealized. It is the loss and death of a mirage."
