I hate to tell you this, but I haven't even gone to the garage to get it yet. Truth is, I'm not yet certain you need one. Your comments suggest that although you really, really want the dream to be real (I think we can all relate), you have a nagging suspicion that it is, in fact, just that...a dream. That's a good place to start.
I probably should have made it clear that my comments after "Speaking of mods...." were not intended as a continuation of my comments to you. Instead, they were in reference to previously posted remarks about the seemingly new political correctness of the site.

Well, I don't know that I'd go quite that far. All marriages (even the great ones) don't meet each person's needs perfectly so I'd guess most folks here can at least understand the concept of wanting more of something we didn't get enough of. I would think most would be supportive of your efforts to address your temptation and would praise your resistance to engaging in a PA (the relationship equivalent of the military's "Daisy Cutter" bomb), but it is probably fair to say you may not find a groundswell of sympathy. I think most folks here are generally fair and objective, but many have suffered at the hands of others who have made the choices and taken the actions you are now contemplating and the wounds may still be a bit raw in some cases.

It's amazing how much can be said...and in a way, not said...with so few words. This statement is a good place to start. Now, get cracking with that thread.
