"but your W is probably not rushing this because she's not so sure about it. What about the scant possibility the OM IS just a friend?"
I've thought about this possibility endlessly, and I come to the same conclusions:
a. She's sure about it, just doesn't want to do the hard work.
b. How many friends pack up and move 1700 miles to live with their mother, their friend and her special-needs son and a neurotic dog in a condo in the middle of nowhere (believe me, it is out in the cornfields)? This guy is moving from Colorado Springs to rural PA. If it was me, I'd say just give me the rope and the stepstool, please.
