@alive: "You're getting defensive." No I'm not! (he said defensively LOL!), I actually didn't understand what you meant in that paragraph. I'm still not sure I do.

ego boosts, easy sex, gratification etc. (which I think are just fine if it works for you), have nothing to do with whether you were a good husband or delivered in your marriage.
Well yes, that's true, but I don't think I ever suggested the one had anything to do with the other. Someone came up and said, "Hey, SP, you've won the Wild Thang lottery, and you don't have to worry about getting any!"
And (he said, quoting Forrest Gump -- the movie, not the DB'er) my immediate response was, "That's good! One less thing!"

I'm projecting more because my H seems to think "look, I'm awesome...chicks dig me."
Sinister thing, that projecting. In my case, as opposed to Monsoor Le S's, it's more like "look, it's awesome...chicks feel sorry for me."

Forgive me but sorry, no way. She ripped you apart and trashed you and you're cherry picking one of the kinder WAS versions of the story.
Actually intended that to be sarcastic, not appreciative (of WAW's presumptive kindnesses).

You have more in common with Mrs. SP now than ever before. You can relate to her in ways not possible until now.
I don't follow.
Re: @Kimmie Lee: For me the puzzler is the definition of "reconciliation" that is more by way of "settling for." You know, like Eeyore: "Well, I guess that's as good I deserve."
