She probably did have an agenda but i had no idea what. I don't think anything started before BD but i might be wrong.
I would bet my savings you were wrong.

If I had a nickel for every time I read this statement on here I would be retired. People separate to sleep with other people. Plain and simple.

Standard WW BS.

Your W is really young to be this selfish. She is not a very good person.

See my comments above.

For once she was being honest with you.

So now you know. What has this changed in your mind? You still love and want to work it out? Do you think she is capable of change? What would be different?

So Ace this is where your beliefs and values come into play. Do you want to be with a trampy liar?

Ok so she lies and you become more jealous and controlling. Do you see the flaw here?
99.9% of the suffering on this board is because the LBS is in love with the fantasy of the person they want their WS to be and are not capable of being right now.
