Hi there Wonka

I was 'dark' for 1 year on Andy between June 03 and June 04, 'grey' on him from June 04 till December 04, and since then we have had a kind of relationship where he gets scared of commitment ocassionally but then bounces back because underneath his fear, he loves me. I now have to get rid of OW2, his latest committment-free shag, but considering he was French kissing me on my doorstep in broad daylight in front of the kids, I think I am half way to getting rid of her.

I have a few questions to ask re your sitch. How long have you been talking about pets with your DW? The whole time she has been gone or just recently? If you have been previously dark, how did she respond to that? You say she's been positive to your contacts about the pets?

I need more info from you so I can get more of a feel of your sitch, to advise you.

Jo.
