I keep track of when MM and I meet (i.e., have sex). We see each other quite frequently, at least 2 or 3 times a week, but we are with other people, so we can only steal moments to kiss. I don't keep track of those times, but I do keep track of the other. I am feeling weird confessing this, but I just wondered if anyone else has done/is doing the same. I honestly don't know why I am doing this. Thoughts, anyone?

My MM and I have not been intimate but I did write down in my planner where we went and who initiated the 'date'. No , it is not weird.

It is definitely not weird...if it is, then I am weird too, LOL! I keep track of who calls who...the duration of the calls...when we see each other...when we are intimate...I even write detailed entries in my journal of our phone calls and our time together. First, I think writing in my journal is very theraputic (sp?) for me plus I can always go back and revisit the good and not so good times...I have kept a detailed account since the day the A began over 8 months ago.

I do, well did. I just put a little star in the corner of my calendar page.

I have 3 "large" 3-ring binders of every email, every Instant Message, and every time we were together, in explicit detail. When our A first started I began doing this because I just wanted memories to fall back upon when it ended. Well, it ended twice; first by him and then months after we began again, by me. We are still hanging in there after 4.5 years, and I continue to write about it. Maybe someday, when I retire, I'll be able to write a "Best Seller." Hah! One thing though, on rainy days I read back to that first year, and like any relationship, it was blindfull bliss. I've come a long way since those days, and now if it were to end, (still waiting to meet that AVAILABLE guy), it would be 10 times easier than in the beginning. When you are unable to take a relationship to the next level, it starts to fizzle; A-SLOW-BURN..........

Although we are not intimate, I also put a star in the corner of the calendar like TS when we see each other. I have also printed out a few of the best emails and hide themin hopefully a very safe palce. I know that is not the safest thing but I like to reread them from time to time.
