Starksy I did go back and reread my old posts and the advice I was given....I was week and thought hey if I give in and giver her money and be nice...things might work out.....but that was not the case....Its ironic...my roommate was going through a similar situation with her boyfriend and another woman...I told her about this site and what advice is given....She followed what I told her to a tee and they are back together now stronger than ever it seems....She is constantly telling me to listen to these people on this board....I try and try but always put my foot in my mouth....Things are starting to look better for me as each day does in fact get easier to get through....I guess I am in the process of detaching and finding myself all at the same time....So know I will be journaling and keeping everyone up to date....So I can get the advice sooner than later....Funny thing is I lurk and read on here just about 24 hours a day....I see the baby steps some sitches have and the pain others do.....Everyone of us who is the LBS.....has the same range of emotions...trouble with me is I think my head must be made out of a substance that nothing can get through to....its almost as tough as the wall my WAW has put up....But I promise that I will listen very carefully to this advice from now on...So one way or another Scott will be ok......keep it coming folks
