Prowl, listen to Wonka. This is what we all are trying to tell you, buddy.

The more you sit around and think about what "she" is doing, is more time wasted that could be better spent on "you". Her head (and probably OM's) are NOT in it for the long run. This is exciting to your WW because affairs are "taboo".

I look at it like this. When I was younger I had a Beagle. She was probably the greatest dog I ever owned. Smart as a whip, loved kids, completely house broken by 9 weeks. BUT her fault was that if she got off her leash, she was gone. The more you chased after this dog, the faster she would run. And she was a jerk about it too, she would actually lay down to catch her breath and allow you to get within a foot of her then she would take off again. I chased that dog all over my neighborhood countless times. Tried every trick I could think of to get her to come to me, nothing worked. Treats, meat, whatever, I did it. She would just run. Then one day I just said "screw it" and didn't chase her, she took off and realized that I wasn't chasing her and came back. She then took off again when I reached out for her, so I didn't. Eventually I left the door open and she just walked into the house after being "gone" for 5 minutes. See the similarities between my stupid beagle and a WW? The more you chase, the more you beg, the more you offer, the faster and harder they are going to run. BUT when you stop, it is no longer a game. I quit chasing my WW a few months ago (probably shortly after joining the forum) and it made a huge difference across the board.

Take everyone's advice. Set up a GAL plan, do something out of character, do whatever it takes to get your mind off of "her" because right now, buddy, you are NOT on her mind. Right now she is NOT the woman you married. Right now nothing matters to her other than the chase and the game. So don't play! GAL! It will help, it will make you feel better and you will be happier man. We are all here for you.
