Hi Sandi2, Thanks for your insight. I assume you read my initial post and know that she did have an A. She says it was an EA & that it never became physical, unfortunately I do have my doubts. I've given her numerous chances to come clean about everything, but she swears that what I found on her phone was/is the extent of it. I've come to the point where I'm done asking about it & done worrying about it. We've talked about the intimacy issue in counselling & she says she wants to know what to do to get beyond her "friend-zone" feelings for me but she also says that she wouldn't kiss or hold a friend the way she does with me? So, I'm not sure if this is just her trying to make herself feel better, or what!! I'm not sure if there is a way to work on this, but I will continue to work on myself first & hope that things fall into place. any other tips or insight would be appreciated.
