So my wife still TM chats with the OP, in front of me. I really can't deal, but know that i have to.
For a strange reason which is to be revealed shortly, we are extremely aroused, something like we were nearly 8 years ago. We are insatiable in each others arms. I know this is a tactic, but i'm just doing some research :-)
Then I saw how she is over the phone and chatting to the OP, and i realised that she has no control. She has lost total control over her life. A few months back, she'd come home, if the phone was dead, she'd just leave it off and charge it overnight. But now, it is always on, she chats for hours, satisfying her need for attention.
The arousal is innate and she needs to satisfy that sexual attention seeking too. Don't get me wrong, I made sure that I set it up so that I would sleep in the next room.
So how do I get her to take control of her life - do i suspend the phone contract so that she can't chat? She will have no other option but to face herself...
Just cos things are going right, doesn't mean that they were always wrong.
