In the days following Christmas day, the Prof seemed to regain some semblance of sanity. (But not too much!)
He agreed to make a commitment to "try again", and that the "balance sheet of life" would be against him (his words) - in trying to make a new start with someone else. (Good thinking). He also agreed to go to marriage counseling.
From my side - I asked him to be transparent in terms of his friendship with HER.
By the way, do you know that it is impossible to find a marriage counselor between Christmas and New Year. Perhaps that was all part of the timing issue.
O well, now my "brain dead" had vanished - I was a whole lot smarter. Funny what a 'wake up' call can do to shake you out of complacency. I noticed that the Prof's cell phone was missing. I inadvertently stumbled on what I should have noticed LONG ago. That phone was never from his side. When I asked him about it, his clever answer was that his lady friend was not aware of the new situation (i.e. the fact that I was aware of the relationship), and so I might misconstrue the smses which she sent to him.
But darlin - how is that possible? After all - this is just an innocent friendship!
