A new thread, a new outlook.....

[Can it work]

Your advice as ever PM is good. I know I have to keep my wits about me and do what I can to give my W the chance she needs to sort her mind out. I know I don't have any control over it. In the mean time I have to enjoy and improve myself as much as I can in order for me to feel better about myself. I think I may be doing ok in that respect. I still have the odd time when I think no matter what I do, nothing's going to work. I know I have to persevere though.

Now, although I think I know how to proceed with my possible reconcilliation, I've come up against another problem. My friends introduced me to someone on Saturday night when we were out. She was a woman of a similar age to me who seemed to be a load of fun and we hit it off immediately. She was also very attractive and seemed to be fairly smart. Basically, the kind of woman I really would have gone for in the past. Well, me being me, I can't help myself when I get a drink in me and I'm a hopeless flirt. Normally, people see it for what it is and just laugh it off. This particular woman didn't seem to see it that way though. She got my phone number from our mutual friend and has been texting me a lot ever since. It was all very innocent to start off with but yesterday she started getting a bit more serious. She knows that I'm having problems with my W because I was completely honest with her. So she knows my situation fairly well. She's offered herself as a shoulder to cry on though and says that she only wishes there were more men like me out there. Also things like, "If only we'd met a few years ago.....". To be honest, I'm completely out of my depth here. I know I have to pass up this opportunity but I just wonder how long it'll be until the offers stop coming while I still hang on to the hope that my W is going to come home to me.

Nobody said life was going to be easy I suppose.
