Excellent post, Nightshade

A year ago I scoffed at CJ's explanation for how "they" happened...that it started out as e-mail pals, a chat room, private messages, support for each other's "failing" marriages, encouragement for their unrealized dreams...

I probably didn't want to KNOW that it was that easy, that slippery a slope.

I will agree however, that it IS what we DO in the beginning...or even before...

For some reason, although I've been quite unhappy, bored, neglected in this M, I've never gone beyond the rare fantasy of an A.

When men have seemed to cross the boundary from friendly interest into....more...red flags appear, I become VERY uncomfortable and the R either stops or changes pronto.

Perhaps it's NOT so much (as I'd LIKE to believe) that I have some kind of greater moral compass...but that the circumstances, my vulnerability, someone else's attractive attention have not converged!!

This is truly a humbling thought. I'd LIKE to think that I would NOT have crossed the boundary into an A...but can I be sure?

WOW!...No wonder CJ actually DID wonder if I'd cheated on him!


What I CAN be sure of now is that my eyes are OPEN to all of this, I am much better armed!
