Hi Bat. I'm sorry you're going through this. Focus on taking care of yourself. Even when you feel overwhelmed by the pain, you can still do small things to make yourself feel better. Like making yourself a cup of tea and drinking it really mindfully.

When you feel emotionally ok to do this, I think it'd be really useful to reflect on the questions that BL42 posted re: comparison of your previous marriage to your current one.

This is so gross. Wtf. I REALLY do not like this. Has he always had this fantasy or is this a new thing? I'm sorry, but I really question the character of this guy. Sounds like he has some serious issues with objectifying and using women that go beyond his current identity crisis.
