Thank you Sandi. I needed that dose of reality. Not that it's any worse, but I think it is an affair with another woman. To me, an affair is an affair. Both potential women are out of the state right now for a few months, but will return.

For what it's worth, I responded to her email with:

Thank you for taking the time to write that response. It really puts things into perspective for me. I'll keep this brief because I have a lot better feeling for "where you're at" right now. From what I'm gathering, you still haven't even had time to process everything. I'll try to give you as much space and free time as possible when I'm home, and also to keep everything light. If I start to seem distant, always know you can come find and talk to me.


And she responded with:
Again, for what it's worth. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything. I am looking forward to you being home.


I will be home in a few days and hopefully, my copy of DR will be waiting for me at the post office.

Instituting strict LRT right now. Just walked about 3 miles chanting to myself Detach/Get a Life, detach/Get a Life after each step. Somehow, it helped.

Detaching is going to be very hard.
