So I haven't quite decided yet whether or not I am going to take a date to the margarita ball. A friend of mine thinks I should and let my W see it. The date is 10 times hotter than my W. Not that my W isn't hot, she is. But this lady is even hotter. My friend seems to think it might put a bit of a jealous streak in my W if I do that. My friend says that if someone else finds value in me, my W might again to.
Who knows. It may be worth it just to see.
Reminds me of Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. You have had the power this whole time and refuse to see it. Your friend is RIGHT. I would stop messing with all this nonsense of "working on yourself". There is NOTHING wrong with you NOW. Once you find someone else that trips your trigger all of this nonsense of working on yourself will take a back seat.
The thing you will find out is that it will be worth it for YOU to see. You are punishing yourself. Going out with a woman that is TEN TIMES HOTTER than your wife is a no brainer. It will show YOU that there is nothing wrong with you NOW and that you have value. It will show value to YOURSELF. Doesn't matter what it show to your wife, even though it very well could show her that.
It would also show your wife that you ARE able to make decisions.
Go for it. You have had the power all along Dorothy. Find someone else to take up your thoughts. Find someone that WANTS to be with you. It will show you that what you think are problems are really just nothing more than wanting what you can't have. Find somone that you CAN have.
