Thanks for checking in with me. I always value what you have to say and look forward to your posts.
It amazes me that although OM dumped her, she still thinks of him as the love of her life and she just won’t let go. It’s like she is living in a fantasy world. You are on the money again. I have been rescuing her, letting her know that I am there for her. The caring part is easy. Doing it with some distance is the challenge.
I have been pretty much taking care of me, and the kids of course. You can see by the tone of my posts that I have adjusted to the situation and I’m pretty happy with me. There is just such emptiness when W and I have matter-of-fact conversations and our goodnight kisses are like I’m kissing my sister. There is such an empty look in her eyes. I just want to reach out and hold her and make her feel better, even though I know it is not what she needs right now. It’s what I need. I have been working on changing my behavior. I know that I’ll get it right eventually.
You may be right about the sex. I’m still thinking about what and why it happened.
