Sara,

It is 14 weeks since her last period so in medical terms she is 14 weeks, but the ultrasound determined that the baby is now 12 weeks old (gestational age).

Of course she didn't return on Sunday - I knew she wouldn't.

I just received the following email from her:

Hello GH31

I will be home on Wednesday

W


I've also intercepted an email she sent to her employer saying she won't be in this week due an extremely delicate situation involving her marriage which has been a bit of an ongoing issue and has made her ill frequently.

If she arrives in Sydney on Wednesday it will mean she leaves England on Monday - so she would have been there a total of 2 nights. Crazy.

If OM takes her back then he just as deranged as I have been - he has been stuffed around even more than I have. I do know that all of his friends and family have been telling him he's nuts for hanging in there and waiting for her, and apparently his new girlfriend has told him the same thing.

They are addicted to each other and I am quite sure W will find a way to placate him again - it is best that I just let her go to him.

Saffie touched on this earlier - the reason I've probably hung in there all this time is I'm very alpha-male and competitive. I hate losing, but I'm just paying for it with my self-respect, dignity, sanity and all of the things I could be experiencing but am not.

I wish this were easy.
