Quote: You know you bring up a topic that I just don't understand. Why DO people follow my journey? What is special about it? There are lot's of people who have WAW with OM and various affairs MUCH more blatant and often than mine.
What is it about my sitch that makesit different?
Is it because it's a great Soap Opera type story?
Being a logical man, I'm puzzled. I count the blessings that I DO have the support but I'm not sure about the 'recognition' part. I don't see anything special about my 'story'.
What is it that draws anyone to follow my particular story?
I don't know about others, but for me I'm drawn to your story for several reasons:
1. Both our situations are very similar-- in how they started, anyway. I can learn from your story.
2. Your sitch has me on the edge of my seat, because everything points to the reconciliation that you deserve. We are waiting to see the results. I want to see your W wake up to what she has right in front of her-- you!
3. You handle your day-to-day crisis and R related events in a very level-headed manner. Your actions and comments to your W are never driven by ego or pride, but rather patience and understanding of the situation at hand. You seem to have an uncanny ability to know just what to say.
3. Your writing and posting style make for easy reading. (i.e. plenty of paragraphs, CAPS for emphasis, etc.) You are a good story teller. Also, there are many threads here from other people with heart-wrenching stories, but it is often very difficult to follow them because they are wall-to-wall words with no breaks at all. Don't get me wrong-- they are all worthy of my reading and I do read them. I just can't digest as many posts in those threads as I can in your threads.
