W called this morning - I picked it up and heard S babbling into the phone to me. She said that he wanted to talk to me and had been mentioning me this morning. Even though he got shy on the phone, it was good to hear him. W sounded cheerful as well - probably recovering from her illness over the weekend to some degree.
I am trying to take the advice of people here and not be petty and fall back into old habits - silent treament, etc. - I can see how that would work against me. At the same time, I am trying to set and enforce proper boundaries - diffiuclt to do when someone doesn't trust you or your motives.
LostIn407 - I am living the exact point you made. I know that if I were to start casually dating someone I would drop them without thinking if my wife decided to work on things. That's the issue I am having (well, one of them anyway) - it is cruel to play "free and easy" with the heart of another - don't know if I would feel very good about myself if I did that. In fact, I know I would feel terrible. Again - maybe that is a sign that I am not ready to be out there yet. Still - I do feel a building swell of lonliness from time to time.
