She said she thought I was playing her. That I was never really coming back. I told her I thought she was being silly. My wife and I had not had sex in two years. She said the no sex was because I was not romantic enough. No birthdays, holidays, or anniversaries. My new relationship knew all this. I was very open. Looking at facebook the morning after the event, my new relationship put my favorite photo of herself on her facebook profile. She also sent me lots of new photos where she looked great, not nude, during the trip. She described the sex in detail, at my request. And following their texts and facebook checkins I know everything. I checked out his facebook, and he looks just like me. Same eye color, same build, same everything, people would think we were brothers. So I run it through my mind over and over. I just want it to stop. I want to believe that I am stupid for having this problem. I am a very tough person. This type of problem is very new to me. I normally just rub some dirt on it and walk off. But I love her, and I know she loves me. So I have to get past this problem. I know I’m wrong, and this is almost all my fault. I know I can’t fix it. I think that is a huge part of the problem. Just writing this has helped a lot. I feel a lot better right now.

well.........i can understand finishing up the separation, that's a necessary formality.BUT....the trip to your favorite place in the world with the ex wife.
not a good idea! i can understand where you're coming from as this would be the last time you ever see a woman you loved enough to marry, but it kinda almost comes across as a last ditch attempt to save your marriage. i'm not saying it is cause i'm not an expert & i don't know all the details, but IMHO you probably should be going to that favorite place of yours with the new girl, not the old one ( just a thought) now i"m by no means a relationship expert, i have blown up my share of them with my BPD, so i would take what i say with a grain of salt, but if i were the new girl & been hurt before....Hmmm, i probably would have done the same thing to protect myself. but HEY, you guys were not an official couple at that time, i just think that may have been a lapse in judgement on your part, but i think you guys will be ok as long as you are HONEST and TRANSPARENT! hee hee, good luck steve42 i wish you guys well



that's just my 3 cents
