Thanks, MB. I'm not rushing anything, and I have no illusions (delusions?) about us being back together right now. In fact, W wrote an email to some mutual friends this morning and cc'd me (also texted me to make sure I saw the email.) In the email she apologized for not being in touch and responding to their concerned texts. She said that it's too painful to talk about, and at the end said, "just know that we are both in a lot of pain." I don't know exactly what to make of that. I do believe she's in some pain. However, she's in a meeting with OW (and others, including my boss) at this very moment.

Maybe she doesn't want to talk about it because she's trying to pretend there's no OW. At any rate, I'm mind reading just like I counseled you NOT to do over on your thread. We're both works in progress, aren't we? I'm not going to respond to the text or email.
