Hi again Time2, glad you're hanging in there. I'm sorry, I should have elaborated. Or, maybe I'm not looking at this the same way, IDK. I was attracted to this other man, but I'd never let him know it; nor have I ever told my H about it. Still, it was an attraction that lasted for about 10 years (embarrassing to even type that), and finally got to be it's worst last year; ended up flirting with him at a party last Xmas. Bleh. So, I don't know if that classifies as an EA? Always thought an EA had to be reciprocal. But. Nevertheless, I'm happy to share with you anything I can if you think it might help? Don't want to overstep though, if you feel it's not quite the same thing?
I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
