M&H - very good post...I totally agree with your analogy. The affair is like a drug....I have noticed the desperation of the withdrawal every time OW ends it (to many to count). WH is even having suicidal thoughts when they break up. He seems to have absolutely no control...the affair controls him.

the A loses some of it's luster, and now they need to spend more "currency" - the personal information - to get that high
They have 36 years of our life together to go through and 20 years of hers with her H....does that mean that will make it last longer? LOL
kara - thanks for stopping by. I agree that they certainly have the "Us against the whole world" mentality. I try not to give him any drama to report on, but I'm sure she knows every detail of every conversation. The very private information that he is sharing, and I found out about, goes back 20 years...
There is nothing I can do about what he tells her and how much history he rewrites...so I shouldn't even think about it.
They are creating their own drama right now and eventually they will get tired of that as well and they will have to face each other for what they are...no more rose colored glasses.
M&H - I'm sure that OW is obsessed with me....I'm his wife and his business partner, we have a long history together and a daughter...I must be a threat to her. She is giving up so much for him...her husband & children, her reputation in her community, her cushy lifestyle...she will need to be reassured constantly that he is all hers.
