So, question to everyone. What is the protocol when the relationship with the OM fizzles?
You continue doing what you have been doing. Just b/c the A ends does not mean she wants to go back to you. But it is a necessary step in that direction.
Try this on for size. When you see her extremely angry and lashing out how your life is great and hers isn't .........it's actually a positive sign. Her life is not going as she imagined it would if she left the M. She is tasting reality, and she wants to spit it out!
Step One: End Affair Step Two: Anger Step Three: Going Through Withdrawal (depending whether or not she gets through withdrawal without contacting OM again will decide if she moves to next step) Step Four: Depression
She will have her own personal "stuff" to work through. Hopefully, at some point, she will begin to pull out of the fog and make logical decisions.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
