NOW 2 months later, the idea of real life is so difficult for her to contemplate that she falls for fantasy b.s. that OM throws at her?

I simply don't understand it. I don't.



Simple (but also MUCH easier to see when you're not in the middle of it, granted):

People tend to value what they don't have, more than what they do. And they tend to respond strongest to threat of loss.

Yeah Starsky, that is a sad thing really. But it is true.

My W, however, cannot rely upon this idea that things will just 'sort themselves out'. It's like Lotus said, she is waiting for a bolt of lightening or some sort of magical sign that is going to help her decide what she wants to do with her life.

It just doesn't work like that. Life is making choices, decision... and working to make them as successful as possible.
