Steve, I have read your threads for sure. Along with R2C and others they've been very helpful. To be honest, I read them as motivation to keep going when I get very discouraged and the last few days have been no exception.

The revelation that W is not happy w the SL is like starting at square one in some sense. Before hearing that, I had really internalized the idea that I am the prize, and was detaching and moving forward while dropping the rope. GAL, 180s, the works. I felt my confidence growing, and noticed her noticing the distance. She was asking questions in a jealous way ("where were you today?" and "Do you think so and so is cute?"). Now it's like I want to play "pick me" - not against OM, but the idea that she is considering the fact that she would have a more fulfilling SL with some other made up dude. I'm re-reading old journal entries from the last few years when she told me outright that we have good sex. It's a real mind-eff. I plan to talk to my IC about it during today's session.

Can you point me to this thread, or around the time this may have happened and I can explore? Not looking to apply your approach per se, just get some color.

Trying very hard to not believe what she says, but boy do those words cut like a knife!
