Steve, I agree with you. Bad news will surly come but I can't deal with anymore lying. Even if it's to protect me. I need to trust my W someday and by lying or giving me trickle truths will only delay or hinder that trust.

Side note- now I know who both these guys are. Matter of fact, they both live within a mile of us (which [censored]). Without sounding conceded, both are far less attractive, overweight, and somewhat unsuccessful. Why does she chose people who are beneath her? Is that related to insecurities? I'm honestly not trying to sound like I'm super handsome superhero but her own friends mentioned it to me....she downgraded. I guess it doesn't matter in the long run. Just a thought.

Abd LH, thank you too for your continued support and advice. You tell it how it is. Sometimes I don't always agree with you but your comments make me think. I do really appreciate your well wishes.

Steve, you have been so helpful and are helping me be more grounded and thoughtful in my processing of all of this. All of you are appreciated.
