God, Carol, this is breaking my heart. I know what it is like to be in love with someone who doesn't love you back, but I also know how it feels when you get past it and they realize that they made a mistake but you don't want to be with them at that point.
When it happened to me, I was 20ish and had a very friable ego. He flaunted his new "love" in my face every chance he got. She was tall, thin, and beautiful. I used his maliciousness as strength to get past him. Ultimately, she turned out to be his worst nightmare for 18 years (if you get my drift)! He tried for months to get back with me and I really felt bad about hurting his feelings but I just couldn't give him another chance, especially after I was starting to get my self esteem back.
I guess, like Lois, I didn't want to be the default. She just wants to be Clark's first choice. I think that in spite of Navance, I would probably start divorce proceedings. The longer she stays with him, the harder it will be and his constant rejection can only push her into a deeper depression.
I would like to think that you will put your toys back as they are supposed to be, but if not, I wish Lois the opportunity to turn Clark down when he realizes that he is in love with her after he hurts her by divorcing her. He is being such an ass by planning to ask someone else to take him and his two children when there is no reason for him to leave the good thing that he has. I guess the grass looks greener with anybody else, who isn't Lois. What will Jonathan and Martha say?
Nice job, Carol! Any chance you'll post agin tonight? LOL!
