I think I'm just having an angry day. I'm mad that people can not set appropriate boundaries when dealing with members of the opposite sex. Mad that they allow themselves to get sucked into the euphoria of an affair. That they think it's real and will last forever. That they lie, manipulate, deceive and shun all their values in order to continue the affair. It's so ridiculous.
To just turn your life upside down because someone pays attention to you. All of the delusions and anger that come out. Rewriting history on a marriage. Not caring about the pain that is caused for so many because you just care about what you want and nothing else.
Then the LBS has to walk on eggshells and form strategies and plans to try to win back a person who has hurt them so deeply without, at least at the time, any remorse whatsoever. That we have to look for subtle meaning in a text message, or an email, or something said in passing for some kind of sign that our former loving spouses haven't turned into a totally heartless stranger.
