Can ANYONE explain to me why one week, I'll be perfectly content on being the "other woman" and then the next week, I want to be the ONLY woman? Why such a rollercoaster ride of emotions?

Good question. This week I wanna be the only woman. (Did I mention my OM 's wife is a SAINT?)

He's busy the last few days at work trying to get stuff handled before a rare out of town convention. I want to be the one kissing him Thurs AM before he leaves to catch his plane!

I want him to call ME when he's checked in at the hotel.

He did go out of his way to cuddle and kiss me after we finished up at work last night and today he picked out all his green M&Ms and dropped them on my desk. (I love M&M's)

We just got the "l word " two weeks ago yesterday along with that we agreed we would keep our previous committments. I think life would be too complicated if i were to become the ONLY.

He would become a royal pain in my neck if I had him 24/7. One of us would definately have to seek employment elsewhere.

I think you feel that way because in reality you DO always want to be the ONLY one. The problem is reality kicks in and realize it is either this or nothing. That is when you are content with being the OW. At least that is the way I Dr. deedee has analized herself!

I can relate to the trip situation. My mm went overseas and would be gone a week, we didn't get to even say goodbye and didn't talk until two days AFTER he returned. The night he got back I cringed thinking of the hello welcome backs he got...none from me!

the decent is such a bummer!
