Just chuckling at the words, Allen. I TOTALLY agree with you.

I thought after WH moved to the basement 8 weeks ago that he'd be back in our room within 2 weeks. He wasn't.

So, I did a SERIOUS 180 - stopped calling, stopped texting, made him make his own coffee, do his own laundry, stopped holding dinner for him, etc.

At first, he was delighted I'd stopped the pursuit (although he wasn't wild about doing his own laundry!). Now that OW has proven she can't hold up her end of the fantasy, things are starting to turn around.

We haven't reconciled yet, but there ARE signs of pursuit from HIM (it's like I'm in 8th grade again with all the times he's "accidentally" brushed up against me. LOL!). He's clearly confused, and I get the impression he'd like to resume a physical relationship with me, but he's not sure how to go about it without actually admitting he was (gasp!) wrong. Alas, the male ego...

He'll get no encouragement from me.

I haven't been chased in a very long time, and am finding some amusement among the heartache. Let's see just how rusty his skill are...LOL!
