Wow 25...you've given me a lot to think about. Some of what you said has gone through my mind at times.

I agree, I am becoming a doormat...no need to apologize for saying that.

I guess I am at the point where I need to take a big step back and assess my situation...when W came back in March, I said I'd do that in October, which has now come and gone.

Patience can only take you so far. Based on what W says, she hasn't even moved an inch toward forgiving me. Occasionally she "slips" and takes an action which shows otherwise, but is usually quick to pullback "so I don't things are fine between us".

I also agree with your assessment of her unknowing self-absorbedness. It's so easy to see now. I think part of the problem there is anytime I question it she runs off (well, calls) her friends who would validate anything she says or does.

Well, like I said, I have some thinking to do. Definitely going to sleep on this one for a couple days before I take any action.

Thanks 25, whg, and karma.
