reason for holding back the intel is that her email was left open on her computer and I out of curiosity looked to see what she was saying to her friends... If I confront her, she'll make it about a violation of her privacy instead of about her heavily flirting / heavily alluding to wanting to hook up with him.
Unfortunately he's 6-8 years younger, a good looking model type guy, and starting his own company (in a sense me 7-9 years ago). Fortunately, he's 6-8 years younger..... because he won't put up with her sh*t for long.
I can't make her love me if she wants to chase that fantasy. But as much as I love her, my self dignity and self respect demand that I am not going to waiting around for her if / when she comes back.
