Wow. You've had an interesting few days.

The pneumonia thing. He flat out should have dropped everything to be there.

The sexual relationship. I don't know for a fact but believe W was assaulted in her teens. She also was promiscuous before me because she felt she didn't have the personality to keep a guy so she'd put out. Then they'd dump her.

So she had major issues and rarely if ever really let go -- I could tell when she was letting her defenses down. Those were some great nights.

But when she'd go cold, I'd withdraw emotionally and it was just a big vicious circle. Sound familiar?

That can be overcome if OW ever gets out of the way.

The conversation. You gave him a chance. He has to give you a reason to stick around. I hope he does. You sound like someone worth fighting for.

Oh, I noticed the crying over the baby boy. That's tough. A coworker who sits in front of me is pregnant. I'm very happy for her, but it reminds me of when we had D11 and D7. I have the pictures of W's face after D7 was born. Pure, utter happiness. That was 2002. In 2003, she mentioned D for the first time.

I'm glad your S is feeling better.
