Annalise,

not sure if it's just your writing style or not but I get the sense you are more aggrivated with my comments than you are directly letting on ie the extra use of ! and over explanations of things.

Frankly I do think that we (those that are at least temporarily accepting of their spouses a)are all living in open marriages whether we like it or not...but that's me.

re comments about om's w. I personally don't care if you refer to her here or elswhere as the wicked witch of the east. My point was not that you shouldn't talk poorly of her my point was that your thoughts and opinions of her are biased and the things you hold true in your conceptions of her (thus the ability to think or make the statement that she will never be able to fully satisfy her h)

More importantly it seems you may have missed a post.
You claimed to be tired of trying to figure out oms and h's motives...I say forget trying to figure them out and spend some more time trying to figure out your own.
