MDU,

Wow. I am so so sorry to read of H's hurtful words to you. That has got to HURT like h*ll!

It's okay to step back and away from the boards for a while to regain your center.

I am with Starsky about H's thought process...in that he's operating from a feeling standpoint rather than making a conscious DECISION to work on things. I am in general agreement that all of those factors are complicated by the OW's constant presence at the office building.

BUT....

I've seen that other posters have survived the OW/OM at their offices. Seems that all of that depends on the variables at play between the parties.

MDU....we're all here right beside you lifting you up by the arms. We'eve got your back, baby. (((MDU)))
