Yeah LH19. Mine had a literal obsession with Chris Soules from The Bachelor. Would watch half naked "magic mike" videos every night at 9pm to 10 pm.It became even more obsessive after BD. She would google articles looking for opportunities to date him, would check his status 6 times daily, started looking at property, arbnb's and rentals around his family's business and farm to potentially live there as a single mom after we seperate. All this although not healthy, understandable. When I found out she made contact via instagram an email to inquire about renting family's cabin, thats when I confronted her. I guess you can call this an EA technically since contact was attempted to be made.
Man that is just a visit to crazy town there! And that is what we call an IA (imaginary affair) because it exists completely in her head. She had zero contact with the "OM" and in fact he doesn't even know (or probably care) that she exists. IA's are perfect for a WAS because they can literally make the affair match whatever fantasy they want. EA's and PA's tend to eventually lead to disappointment but you can never be disappointed by an IA, it's limited only by your imagination.
