Echoing Dave36 I would add that the rejected HD spouse is always on the "lookout". You just can't help it. Once in a while you happen to meet someone who takes a fancy to you and if they speak your love language the results are electrifying! I met my OW two years ago and she hit right on to my "words of affirmation" LL. She said all the things I had been longing for my W to say and she said them with such meaning that I came within an inch of leaving my family after knowing her for only 3 months. Not a day goes by when I don't think of those things she said to me. I am constantly tempted to contact her again to get another "fix". I realise that I am actually an incredibly easy guy to please if only my LDW would make the effort to try. SD
