Thanks Sandi for stopping by. I went all out to try and build attraction and make myself look better. When this all started at B drop I thought she was leaving right away so I thought to myself, I have to change. The first thing I did was make an appointment to get my ears pinned back because they stuck out. I thought if she had moved out she would not know I was doing this. When she decided to stay awhile longer I still kept my appointment and had the surgery. I did so well at hiding it that she never knew I had it done. 6 months later I think I look 100% better but she has never said anything to me about how I look now. Maybe she just can't figure out how I have changed so much and It bothers her.

I have also bought new clothes and shoes and I always try to look good and smell nice when i'm around her. I have never looked so good but she has never said anything.

My plan was that if she decided to D me at least I would look good for someone else. Is there anything else I can do?

This is true if you add in that the other person might be a fantasy person, like a character in a book, movie or play.
It does not have to be a real person.


You're absolutely right. I've even seen it where it's a real person but the real person doesn't have a clue they are in an EA, because for them, they're not. It's all one-sided which is still part of the fantasy you mentioned. Still, it's enough for the W to refocus her feelings toward that person and detach from the H. As far as cheating goes, it's still cheating because it's an EA whether it's one-sided or not.



The future is as bright as you demand it be.

I can't check her phone bill it's in her name and she does it all on line. I have already tried to look into that with no luck. She is very smart that's why she's a supervisor where she works.

For sure she has detatched from me and has all her focus on her job. It's all about who she works with that I don't know about.

I really believe that she may have a fantasy about someone at her work that she would like to be with. Maybe when she's left the house and moved out she will be free to make her fantasy a reality.

There's no need to lock her phone if it's a fantasy person. Most likely they are already texting, and it's at least an EA. My WW is in the same situation, she immediately wanted to separate as soon as I confronted her about the EA.

With no proof of anything yet my feelings are that I should try and get along with her till she is gone.

So my W and I are going to sit down later and watch tv and drink some wine. This is a regular thing we do in the evenings when she is home on weekends and the odd time through the week. Sometimes I feel like she is patting me on the head like a little puppy dog just to keep me happy and have me wagging my tail when we do this.

Should I really be doing this with her when in two months from now she will be all packed up and out of here maybe never to see her again? I would never do this with her if I knew for sure that there was OM.

So after watching a show tonight my W was tired and went up stairs to bed. I turned off the tv and turned out the lights and walked up stairs to the kitchen. The lights were turned off in the kitchen and as I walked in my W was standing there texting. As soon as I saw her, her hand moved so fast and she put her phone in her front pocket that a gun slinger would have been proud of her. She said she was using her phone as a light. Yea right, I think it's time to saddle my horse.
