After I emailed him yesterday, Larry surprised me with a phone call to discuss my "issues" with OW. He reiterated some of the lessons we talked about, discussed why WH strayed, and told me the fastest way to get OW out of my marriage.
How to do it? Well, to make a very long story short, and as either J3B or PDT said: by being the better Princess.
I'm on my way. I've done A LOT of changing in the last 3 months. The doormat's gone. A lighter, more confident woman has emerged.
Which is why guys are suddenly hitting on me, even at church, lol!
Dangerous stuff, that. I can see now how easy it is to stray when you're vulnerable. When strangers treat you better than your spouse, when other men make you feel sexy while your husband ignores you...well, I understand things much better now. Not that I intend to act on it, mind you, but I'm seeing HOW things could start so easily. Too bad most people take the easy road instead of the high road...
Anyway, Larry sent me something that was supposed to be about me but that was so outrageous, I laughed and emailed back that it was just a BIT of hyperbole.
He responded:
"HYPERBOLE…Ah, Yes! from hyperballein to exceed, from hyper- + ballein to throw more at devil. Well, I certainly DO want you to throw more at “devil”, because you’ve had too many years of him throwing more at you!"
Yes, the devil in my husband nearily destroyed everything. Who knew it would be up to a rusty princess to rescue the alien-plagued hero and save the family from certain doom?
