The text caught my eye because it said "baby" and was from a guy named Mike. W has her phone locked (for obvious reasons I guess), but I was able to see some messages that helped connect the dots.

OM is married, lives an hour south of here, and has spent the last couple weekends with W. In fact, she came from there that morning. From the texts, it's obvious sex is involved, and a little bit of personal stuff also. Stuff about his sister's surgery, her grandparents, even a "with Easter, I won't see you for 3 weeks. That's too long!". Puke.

There were also texts from another OM in Houston, seems to be mostly sex. Also to the dog-sitter guy I was wary about, like "do you miss my kisses?" And "I'm sorry for hurting you, I told you I wasn't ready for a relationship".

I kept my mouth shut about it, woke W up and we took a motorcycle ride, had Italian at our favorite place, and watched a movie. I also helped her fill out paperwork for a doctor's appointment today. At least she wasn't BSing about that. She seemed sad to leave, and said she wished the visit could have been longer, that she's giving up her car next week and felt like this was her last chance to get away. Only, she didn't come here first.

Overall, I'm not completely surprised, but I thought things were getting better. And a married guy? The texts only went back to the 15th, but she got a new phone then so there's no telling. It did seem like a new thing though. I know W is miserable, but I wish she'd start making better choices. I'm just very, very disappointed today. We're not nearly as far along as I thought we were. Where to go from here?
