Quote: Think about it. What would you advise me to do? Think it through, and then do it yourself.
So, here's what I would advise: ---reread the DR chapters on infidelity and midlife crisis; ---Eat some chocolate while reading it to increase concentration ---take a nap to let it soak in. REPEAT steps 1 - 3 until step one is thoroughly baked into gray matter of brain! Ok, so I've already started on steps 1 & 2....hopefully the baking will not take too long....
I'd also probably suggest writing out ways H could provide reassurance, mentioning it once (yep, I remember the "unless he's deaf, he heard you" statement) and then let it go and see what happens.
Then, come to think of it, I might suggest saying the h--l with it all for a while and starting to pack for vacation.
