I think in a case like that, you would need to go to Walmart and use that machine where you can put your own wording on the card!

I know I should not have laughed b/c you weren't trying to be funny, but it hit my funny bone anyway.



Sandi,

Actually I WAS trying to be funny, I'm glad I made you laugh! As serious as my sitch is, sometimes I just have to shake my head and consider how RIDICULOUS it all is. Then when I see a picture of big fat goofball OM, it's like come on, are you kidding me??? Unbelievable. I know my W is pushing OM to lose weight/get in shape but even if he gets trim, he still is damn ugly. I'm really starting to think of this guy as my W's dirty little secret...kinda like how some people hide their pornography out of shame/embarassment. Then again maybe it's just a case of love is blind...REAL blind <sigh>.

Anyways, I wanted to follow up with you on a question I had posed in an earlier post:

Quote:
One thing that a couple of people have suggested to me is to make one, possibly two statements to my W shortly before she leaves for her trip in August. No further discussion- just one or two statements. The first statement to my W would be to tell her that I don't know for certain whether I would be able to reconcile with her if she has sex with OM. The second suggested statement- made in conjunction with the first- would be to tell my W that if she either contracts an STD and/or becomes pregnant by OM, it will definitely end our M. (Both of these statements are true BTW.) Sandi, what do you think about this idea? I'm considering it because although my W very likely knows my feelings already, I want to make sure that she understands my position without a doubt. I do NOT want my W misinterpreting my detachment as me completely "giving up" on our M... and I have a suspicion that this is how she may be reading me right now. On the other hand, I don't want such a statement/s to come across as either a "dare" to my W or given her screwball condition, confirmation to her of how best to go about getting me to file for D- instead of her. What do you think?


Yes, I know that the above would generally fall in the "Do Not" category on your list. But should I make an exception given the circumstances?

1st contact w/OM: 1/19/09

I file for D 8/25/09 to protect myself
