Thanks guys, for the input. Last night she had me stop by her place on my way to work. She wanted to give me a letter.It was a nice letter saying how much she loves me and that my believing in her made her feel like she was worth something. That with me giving up, it would be hard on her.But she's still too weak to fight for me. ( That's the only thing that I don't understand)pretty much a goodby letter after that. I just don't understand why she can't kick his ass to the curb. Is it not wanting to be controlled(rebellion). I'm truely not trying to control her, but I know she'll see it that way. Is it becouse she is still strongly attached to him ? Maybe she wants to see if the relationship with me will be good again before she burns her bridges. Idon't know, but tell me, Is there anybody that thinks I should allow this to proceed under her terms???ie; get involved with her and build our relationship back slowly while she is still " friends" with OM. For myself, I just can't see it happening that way. I was too lieniant and accommodating for way too long, and I've worked too hard at getting myself back to backslide now. I know that she's hurting right now, but I hurt for a long time myself. No it's not about retaliation or pentance. It's about self preservation, emotionally speaking.
