Thanks rH! I've been thinking the same. I believe the fbook mistake I made a week ago, along with the GAL/attitude I've had, is slowly making her realize I don't have to wait or settle or otherwise be destroyed by her actions. I'm hoping she appreciates the fact that I'm here, for her, by choice.

This evening we were alone together for about an hour cooking supper. We had nice conversation and no disagreements. I encouraged her to put in for a promotion at her work, bragged on her intelligence, etc related to that, and even talked about some hobby type activities she's been doing. It was as close to the old norm as we've had in a week or so.

I have a db question that I need help with. My boys have always known, because I've always made it very clear, that I adore their mother. Part of our normal family conversation usually includes the boys making a comment about my feelings toward W, whether its how pretty, smart, etc. How do I handle that now? When one of the boys says, 'Mommy looks pretty doesn't she' I'm torn on what to say. So far, I've kept my normal responses like, 'she is beautiful' or something like that. Not sure how that plays now.
