My W told me it's important to be on her own as she's never "been single" and "she's always moved from one relationship to the next", which is really strange to hear from your W of 9 years and mother of 3 of your kids. And, she is seeing OM several times a week, constantly texting him, etc. there's no logic or sense here.
The last A, W had just gone back to school and was riding a high of being newly engaged with that. This time, she's in a job she likes and is taking outside coursework to advance. And she has the same flight reflex you describe. She dropped out if school around the same time she came back to the R. What will happen this time?
