@ForGump: Thanks for your insight. You are always extremely well spoken and I love reading your posts.
@Vapo: I certainly hope that's not what she's going for. If it is, I suppose I'll see more signs of that in the near future.
@Sotto: I'm certainly not dwelling on it. You're right, I see that by telling her about my counseling I was trying to extend the conversation. I think subconsciously I was trying to tell her that I am learning and bettering myself. I'll try to keep it a little more brief next time. So far, I have lifted weights everyday this week, started my teeth whitening program, have an eye doctor appointment today, went to a friends house for coffee last night and to teach them about 401k's. So, still not hardcore on the GAL but definitely making strides to get there.
Last night was another tough night with mind movies followed by dreams of my W. I have also had an issue that really only started about a week ago with comparing myself to OM. I know there is nothing to gain from this, but it still happens. He has a much higher paying job, much nicer house, nicer car, in better shape....so it's hard to think how I can "be the man only a fool would leave" when he has much more to offer in those regards. Now the redeeming quality is that clearly he's morally bankrupt for getting involved with a married woman. So, that's a saving grace I suppose. My W has never cared about material things in the past and is very frugal so I am not sure that these things matter to her...but I don't really know anymore because she isn't who she used to be.
