I think your right that W is living in a "fantasy" world. Everything is moving way to fast & she is going against some of the values that she believed so strongly in before OM/old HS BF came back around. The kids used to be top priority but now OM is coming 1st in some areas of daily life. Good example is in the beginning they couldn't see each other enough without the kids knowing. So by the 3rd week of them seeing each other they introduced each other to their kids. Took me 5 months to meet my future stepsons.

Still unsure how long they were talking/texting when W & I were going through the worst times. I think it was late August because she told me that by then she had given up emotionally.

Don't know what the future has in store, I'm not giving up hope & since neither one of us has talked about D I'm not going to mention it. I want to know her future plans & if I'm involved but that would be pushing the issue. It's just tough sitting back & watching, waiting to see what happens next.
