Oh dear God. Pat, you do realize this is half the problem, right? The biggest threat to our marriage isn’t Andrew, Theo, or any other random guy. It’s the made up one in my head who goes by PC (Prince Charming aka Will). I’ve known him since I was 8. I’ve tailored him to be exactly what I need. And in essence fell in love with him without ever realizing it over a decade ago. Everyone else in comparison just isn’t him.

I’ve realized this lately when without my consent (that part is new and scary) he tried to convince me to run away with him. I explained to him no, I loved my husband and I couldn’t do that to you and the kids. He said he understands and will always be there waiting for me if you decided you didn’t want me.
