Hi everyone. Interesting night last night.

W and I went to "our" bar/grill for dinner. We had a nice time. At one point we went outside so W could smoke and she was telling me that one of her friends at work told her that her H said something about one of the guys I sometimes work with at the Refinery was having an A. W's friend said "no way, he's not the kind of guy that would do that". I said to W, "did you tell her that ANYONE can do that, even people you don't think would?" Ok, probably shouldn't have said that, but amazingly, W said "yes I did".

So we were talking about that a bit and W made some interesting comments that just let me think she's figuring this out more and more. Some comments about "playing with fire" and "the devils playground" etc.

So we go back inside and wouldn't you know it, but the guy we were talking about walks in and grabs me around the neck. I couldn't believe it. W had never met this guy even though they work in the same location so I introduced them. We talked for a couple minutes and then he went and sat down. I kind of found it weird when I looked over to see a woman sitting there that he hadn't introduced his W to us. A bit later we went out to smoke again and when we came back in I got a better look at the woman and it wasn't his W. Surprise, surprise.

So a bit later, again we went out so W could smoke and they came walking out. They stopped and talked to us for a few minutes and this lady recognized W from work and said some things to her before they left.

After they left, W said she recognized her but wasn't sure what her name was, but she definitely worked at the Refinery. So there ya go.

We went home and sat on the deck until almost 11:00, just talking. We had some more interesting conversation about A's, etc. She really seems like she's figured it out. We went to bed and ML. Pretty darn hot if I do say so myself. When we were done, I broke down and told W "I love you" and she had this pained look on her face and just shook her head like "yes".

So...It seems like we're getting there. It seems like W is figuring it out. It seems like now she's dealing with the guilt, etc and doesn't know how to get past it.

I'm going to just keep being there, listening when she wants to talk and when the time is right, bring up those things that I think are still holding her back. I don't know, maybe that stupid glass, etc don't really trigger her anymore. Maybe a former wayward could clue me in if at some point those types of things just didn't have the meaning they once did, and it is in fact, "just a glass" to her now.

Talk to ya soon.
