If we are going to move forward we cant have these things overhanging from the past. And dishonesty or burying it or ignoring it ain't gonna help.
You are highly intelligent... But what you do not seem to get is, you are not moving forward... You cannot piece by yourself...
After reading your last entry, it occurred to me that you are both MAINTAINING... she is maintaining your marriage in a limbo state, and you are maintaining any semblance of hope... And it's just semblance, but you seem satisfied with it... Neither of you is being honest and open, because that would make it all messy... It would interrupt your maintaining...
BTW, she could very easily have shopped for those bags of items with receipts and all, and still have time to meet OM... I did that all the time... For all you know, he could have gone shopping with her... I had a friend, (the one I eventually gave up after reconciliation) who went shopping with her OM, and together they shopped for his wife's Christmas gift... Imagine that)...
I have more to say about the religious aspect, but I am on my way out to take my 91-year old momma Christmas shopping... Mis dos centavos... Adelante...
