Neither am I. Playing games never work in a relationship of any type.

Like I said, I have a very different take on your wife's behavior. She was the one who cheated and left. She regrets it but not enough to be forthright. Now she is dipping her toe in your water but in a very passive way. Lurking, if you will.

While I dislike games as well, this is a little different. The reason she is looking at your blog is because she wants to see if you are hurting as much as she is. It sounds like you are. She is trying to "find herself" at your expense and it is working, for her. She keeps tabs on you, her husband, while she goes out and does whatever she wants.

Tomorrow, post on your blog that you have a date for New Years Day. I know, odd, right? Why not New Years Eve? Because it is too obvious. Mention that you met a woman at the grocery store/Home Depot/Target, hit it off and asked her out but she already had plans for New Years Eve, as most good looking women do. She wants to see you however, New Years Day. You will meet for coffee and you are so excited because she seems really nice, warm and is very attractive.

Nothing and I mean nothing makes a woman sit up and take notice when the "dish" is served out the same way she served it. Competition between women and "her" man is the classic example. If she feels somebody else is going after you....well, watch out.

Don't let my name fool you, I am a woman. 17 years married.

You know, Brennan, the old me would jump at that idea, but I'm done with the manipulative side of things in a relationship. One of the reasons my wife is divorcing me now.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
