I've just realized that even though I'm the LBH that I'm cake-eating too.
I guess I was a cake-eating LBH too, but my cake tasted like spoiled eggs and burnt milk... it wasn't an enjoyable cake to say the least. I don't know where I'd be if I wouldn't have bullied my way back into the MBR, indirectly forcing my W out of the house "for good"... but I'm glad I did so. I don't want to be Plan B or the "default" fall back guy... if that's what you are when she decides to come back to you, that's what you'll be when someone new comes along for the next A... she knows she won't be losing you... you'll just stick around and wait for her while she's having A after A, as she knows her good ole #2 will just be waiting back for her at home... rubbish.
