Hi EM - I am sorry I have not posted in a while. I have been working some temp jobs and have been very busy lately.
Don't feel bad or guilty about meeting with and having fun with your friend the other day. I think it is great you were able to enjoy yourself, and it is obvious she had a good time being with you. That was a terrific validating experience. If there is anyone on these boards who deserves that it us you. If you were to develop an EA with AW I for one would not have any problems with that. However, I don't know if you need the complications of a PA at this point in time when you are going through a lot of turmoil. The fact that your W has someone else in her life plus her continued "off the wall behavior" leads me to believe that you no longer owe her anything in the way of personal fidelity, although I am sure you are still committed to your marriage as a point of honor as long as you are still married. Meanwhile, I am glad to hear that you and your W are moving closer relative to a financial settlement, and that she appears to be more reasonable along these lines. Take care.
