Well Mozza, fortunately there is an upside to her leaving and moving in with OM. Their fantasy bubble will be well and truly burst as they start to deal with the reality of their situation now. Part time parenting and step parenting, discovering each other's annoying habits and being together 24/7...It may all combine to strip away the great romance pretty quickly. Of course it may not, but we know how many of these sitches turn out don't we?
Indeed, my money is on the implosion and that's what friends around me tell me (those I tell about the sitch), but the reality is that I don't know. I looked at our emails when W and I moved in together and we had our first argument 10 days after the move (6 months into our R at the time) then the whole week was like that (and no step parenting!). It's a lot of adaptation. But still, it lead to a M and two kids... I can't think of it too much, but it gives me some comfort to know that it can't be heaven on Earth every day for them.
