Okay, since I'm on a roll tonight I might as well throw out another thought.

A month before the bomb, my W asked me why I've always believed that you could love more than one person. I told her that it was just human nature. And that we have different people that come into our lives that we are attracted to, but it's our choice and commitment to stay with one person. She told me again that she didn't understand and asked again. I eventually told her that it was something I believed and that I can't explain it to her any more if she doesn't believe it.

My W sees things in black and white. You can only love ONE person. I've always seen things in shades of gray.

Now of course, she says that she never loved me, that we were wrong for each other, in her "feelings" note, she wrote how her boss was true love, etc. I should have picked up something from that conversation.

What are some thoughts about that?

Incidentally, I know that she's got a nursing exam coming up, so I went ahead and ordered her a bunch of study materials for her to be delivered to her working place as a surprise. I'm wondering what she's going to think about that. I know her job is important to her. I think because it validates her personal achievements since she doesn't have any hobbies or interests at home.
