Fogg, I couldn't agree with you more. My good friend tells me that as much as the affair with the OW is a drug for my W, I'm the bigger drug, the one she REALLY can't live without. I have wondered if part of the reason why she is so anxious for us to split is because on some level she needs to test that, or to quit me cold turkey.

Every now and then I see glimpses of my real W. They're just very fleeting. She is having way too much fun with her fantasy life. (A fantasy life that makes no sense to me. Have I mentioned that this is a much older woman, not particularly attractive, needy and clingy and even kind of creepy... and that my W is drop dead gorgeous? Doesn't add up... well, except the money part...)
