I am very nervous about MC tomorrow. I think I need to drop any expecations, and just state my mind. W has never really given me a chance since this all blew up 7 months ago. She thinks she has, but I now realize the OM was always in the back of her mind, and undoubtedly still is. I am really quite amazed that she thinks she can "just be friends" while the OM is lying to OMW about their EA. OM has done a good job demonizing OMW to my W, and, unfortunately, my very smart W doesn't seem to recognize the EA. She thinks OM is a nice guy with serious problems. What a crock.

I think I just need to state my mind about the trust issue and our emotional needs. She stated last week that I never give her my thoughts and feelings. I think I need to do that.

There is no doubt that I fear this is the last time we will ever talk to an MC. I want this to be a beginning, and I fear W wants it to be the end. I need to develop strength and confidence. I need to go NC when I leave for 3 weeks next week.
