Lil: If you stick your key in the car and turn it and the engine does not start, do you just sit there and keep turning it and saying "it should start"?
Lil, this was amusing, but did drive the point home. Thanks
Chrome: I revealed the EA to my W the night before I started classes, and not crying or breaking down while lecturing the next few days was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I had the added problem that the impetus for revealing the A was OW "dumping" me that night also. So I had the shame of the A, the double feeling of rejection from my W and OW, and the shame that I wasn't "man" enough to stop it on my own.
Chrome, ugh. I understand how you feel. It's really hard to feel these things....it makes it somehow feel better to know there are other good people out there who have done stupid things. We've owned up to it and are trying to pay the price. We'll be ok.
There's so much thought provoking stuff I haven't had a chance to get to yet. I'm trying to post as I have time. More later.
