Alison,

Thanks. I know; I'm back to reading more about MLC.

Something that bothered me:
The tone of H's voice when he spoke to o.w. on the phone. (also, I'm very surprised that he knew I could hear him and didn't seem to care). He was very sweet-sounding, very gentle natured. There was a happy lilt to his voice that I rarely hear, ever. I guess he's saving his gloom for when he talks to me?

I really did try to push him to her last night; I told him if he's that involved with her and the child, he should just go be a part of their lives. But he said that's not what he wants. Well, then he should stop playing games with this little girl and break it off, and stop telling o.w. that she can call him anytime her daughter is crying for him (which I think is a bunch of b.s.).

How did my H. end up in this mess? He is tangled up with a very needy and manipulative person and it scares me, quite frankly.


Most of us really marry only once. First love endures, even unto our dying day. And we never really divorce.
