You are going to take something you heard from a 3rd party (gossip), that you don't even know is true,


I've not made myself clear. I haven't taken anything from a third party. What I do know is that W and OM worked at the same company and for the same Union. That is a fact.

What I said was that a third party told me that maybe he was going for a job where my W works (which was the company he last worked for anyway just a different location). That doesn't alter the fact that the A was work related and Union related. That is a fact.

It was advice on here earlier to inform the W's employer if it was a work based A, which this is. That's all I was getting back to. I think it was PDT who said it (although if he didn't I apologise).

So it was two workplace based affairs - they were both Union reps (workplace) and they both worked for the same place (workplace). That was it.

Where you such drama queen in your M? Could this be one of the issues your W had with you?


I'm sorry you see me as a drama queen. I'm in a tough place just now emotionally for all sorts of reasons and I'm scrambling around again because my emotions are getting the better of me. The only place I am venting these emotions, ideas or suggestions is here. I haven't texted, called or contacted W in any way. So I see this as a safe place.

If my letters succeed in OM not getting a job then great. Maybe he'll get lost a lot quicker and I can try and patch up my M. I don't see them not giving somebody a job because they were having an A - most people seem to think it's regular part of life nowadays (and every second person seems to have one). I see it as informing her work and her Union of the situation that was created. As I said, it was advice given here earlier.

I also know little about the issues the W had with the marriage. She's yet to tell me.

What I'm not going to do is apologise for having a bad day. I would rather post here and get some advice, get a 2x4 to the head, and think about it, than go ahead and just do it. Drama queen or no drama queen.

I am going back to re-read http://www.livestrong.com/article/14712-developing-detachment/ - you are right, I do need to detach more. While physically I have detached from her, the mental attachment is getting stronger, not weaker.
