I will throw some confusion into this EA vs PA thing from the male side ... W's EA's have hurt me more than the PA. For me, her total withdrawing of that emotional connection, because she has been a very "all or nothing" person, is what was more devastating to me personally. Her PA has not bothered me quite as much, but to be sure, BOTH EAs and PAs are hurtful...
This sign conversation is interesting... guess what W is? ... Scorpio. And I am a Capricorn...go figure... lol. Maybe some common threads there... earthy and loyal meet emotional and ego, or something like that.
TVS, if his facial expressions have morphed into mostly serious while texting, then I would bet the end is coming for the A...I watched this transformation of W's from giddy school girl and getting away with something "look" to...ummm..."not so much" expressions quite a few times along this journey.
Hang in there your most awesomeness! T^2
