Boundaries: I will not be in an open relationship. I will not consider us 'working' on this while she is with OP. As we know she will want to cake eat <-- I know this intuitively as well. She'll want the stability of H/family as well as fantasy of OP. So it's about reminding her that I'm not an option right now. <-- and I know I have to show it through actions. Granted it was a short time, but before this interaction I was doing better at this.
Hopefully, there are multiple losses. But PA starts to go sideways? Kids/family impact? Realizes that we are equally responsible (or close) to the failure of relationship? could be any of these. The fact is: I DONT KNOW. I only hope and if it turns out that there is really no return on her side in that time, then I won't have the conversation. And hopefully I'm doing better at detachment and I don't feel as strongly about the need to have it.
