I'm hoping it's all just limerance and they'll have a cataclysmic break up soon. I do want another chance. I think everyone deserves another chance, including the wife. At the moment I hope that they have the disaster whilst I still hold some hope of reconciliation and that the wife also starts to backpedal from divorce. I don't think I could hold on to that hope for much more than 6 months, but will try.

I've no idea about how long it was going on. I didn't introduce them until around 3 months before the break up, and they didn't really become friends until around November last year. It can only have happened since then. There's not really a lot of temporal space when you've only been married 6 months. I don't believe a word they say from the fog, despite them saying it only happened after we broke up, and have only email evidence from around 3 weeks after it happeend of "I love you so much." He moved just as quick on one of the previous marriage break ups, again a matter of a couple of weeks, and again in the 'comforting' role.

I am socialising like mad (probably to the detriment of my career, but at the moment I just can't face hitting the books for the final set of exams), trying to make new friends, new hobbies etc. I am completely dark except for the occasional email to remind her about the money she owes me, which is free of emotion and purely business like. I'm steering well clear of both of them as much as possible.

Nice article. I like to think of the wife and OM as sex craved drug addicts indeed!


Reality is that which, if you don't believe in it, doesn't go away.
