Now I'm not sure anyone here would put money on your OM to be a fine upstanding guy. More like a clinger, you know the type the one who doesn't give up when the girlfriend says its over, a desperate fool who thinks if he just hangs on long enough she'll see the light...sort of like...most LBSes at first. ; )
So, do you see where I might be going here Denver?
I ask because several times I could have jumped to the horrible wrong conclusion.
You drive by her house, and he is outside talking with her.
Is that strike one?
Maybe she is talking to him because after 30 minutes of knocking and ringing the doorbell she got tired of it, and while 'we' can say call the cops...thats not the reality. Despite what we wish, or want. Outside rather than inside, public rather than private.
If you're going to call strikes, make sure your a good umpire.
Is this hypothetical? Absolutely. Am I clouding the issue? I hope not, sometimes a strike is 100% Black and White.
Sometimes it takes a little time to figure out. And it is hard not to jump to a conclusion.
Trust... I believe it is more...honest to tell her that you want to trust her and you are learning too again.
But, that is just me.
Funny... I was just thinking of this very topic when I decided to jump on DB and saw your post.
For the most part I do trust W to tell me the truth, although that has been somewhat dented by her omission in May.
I know that I need to trust her... otherwise, what is the point in trying to save the M anyway?
I know that my W has a history of being VERY trustworthy...
For some reason, still struggling with it a bit.
Your hypothetical raises the thought that this may not be as simple as I hope.
