Depressing. So we look at our Wayward Wifes, as not our wives for right now. Even some cases in a lower stature than a female friend who enjoys our company, because in many cases our WAW do not enjoy our company, while that friend may view us as a "potential".
This really illustrates how far out we can get with our own spouses.
I have been saying for a few years, that even not married on paper if you have a long term relationship, and you spend most of your time with that one partner ( mental, physical, sexual ). Thats pretty much your spouse, spiritually.
So when these spouses get OM or OW, they essentially flip them into a spouse role or the (girl|boy)friend that they are trying to hook, and the spouse can get moved to something less than a friend.
Its scarey to see how far you have to go if you want to recover, and to know that you may never recover.
