I know that little voice all too well.

I read "After the Affair" last week and am current reading "Not Just Friends".

Your post made me remember part of our conversation last night. I asked W if she thought she would recognize the signs of getting to attached to another person. She said she hoped so. I felt my stomach drop when I heard her reaction. Honest as she was I don't think she has thought much about the breakdown of our M and R. She made a comment regarding how much I had thought about the issues in our M and R and how we both contributed.

Given that OM is recently out of the picture, as far as I know, I feel that I am ahead of her on this journey and need to give her time to reflect and "catch up". Hopefully, both MC and Retrouvaille can get us there.

I know that it going to take considerable time and effort to move past this and rebuilt our R and a new M. I have conveyed that to W as well and she seems to agree. Only time will tell.
