Mach - thank you for taking the time to post on my sitch. I know you are very respected here and I truly value your insight.

If could keep an eye on me, I would greatly appreciate it. I welcome the 2x4's. They hurt but they're necessary.

You're right about thinking logically. GAL has always been a challenge for me, I can be a homebody at times and like to relax at home after a long day at work. The problem with that is that it's a recipe for obsessing.

As a result, I have neglected friendships or found excuses to not be as social (so and so is married with kids or he just likes to drink and I don't live my life like that any more). My WAW and I became, I beleive, each other's sole source of companionship. We did everything together with our kids. I know that's unhealthy.

Now I find myself terribly lonely and feeling unconfident since my best friend left me, not exactly an attracive trait, especially when trying to fix my relationship.

Maybe I have a fear of rejection that I need to think about?

I appreciate the kick in the pants.
