Steve85, thank you so much for your response. I love your ‘being full’ analogy (read it before in another post). So true.

I also appreciate your last statement about the length of it all. I am a bit confused as to why he hasn’t pulled the D trigger if he really is planning on doing it. Maybe you are right.

Two things that are making me feel absolutely crazy (my friends and family consider me to be a grounded, calm human, so this is out of the norm for me) are 1) whole re-writing of our history; and 2) denial of the EA, they are just friends, despite things I have read with my own eyes. I suppose even the most sane of us has our own path to madness; he may well have found mine.
