First I want to thank all for responding to "What Would You Do" they where great.

I also want to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday.I am also,want to apologize for not being on the site in th last weekday has been somewhat crazy.

I just want to bring all upto date as to what I did

I had talked to my ex and told her that I came across her personnel profile on the internet and that she even sent me a message in showing interest to my profile.

I told her that it was somewhat amusing that she did.

She told me that she did not put herself on these site and that a couple of friends did so for her to have some fun.She also mentioned that she would not pay for this too.

I took it as what she said and thought that ,yeah this could be ,knowing the friends that she thinks she has.Well you all and I dont beleve this

.On one of the sites she has on there that she is looking for that LTR with someone and that she does not want any BS or someone dishonest and one that is not a phony.

Will when I went to the sites that I was on to cancel myself on them. I noticed that she updated her profile and added more photos to it.I cancel myself from the site but could not stop thinking about her updating the site.

I then sent her a email letting her know that athough I dont beleive that she needed to be on the site or any other site but that I could somewhat understand it.I have a hard time with the fact that she is serious about this and that she has been talking with someone (she gave out phone numbers to him)I also expressed to her that I find it very hard and hurtful that she will tell me that she still has allot of feelings for me but is still not sure were she is with it on us.Yet she continues with the sites.

I also wrote to her letting her know that I do understand and know how she hates people who are dishonest and phoney just as much as I do and that she knows how it feels when this happens.That is in part in her first marriage her ex had been dishonest and had several affairs on her and was physically abusive towards her.

With this being the case ,I had expressed to her that I have always and will continue to respect and be truthful to her and that I only wanted the same.

If she believes that she may find someone on the internet that will make her happy then that is all that matters to me,is her happiness.

I told her that I am leary about the whole internet dating thing and if it works then great. I would interested to her from her about it and yes I can hear this.

I dont see the reason for the dishonesty with this at all,Why continue? If it is over its over. Move on and have a happy life...Right?

I agree with whitemanitou. Watching an ex's behavior online can be addictive, obsessive, etc. It makes it harder to let go. Years ago I felt the same compulsion to look at what an ex was doing, and it made getting over him harder. Try to go cold turkey.

Wow. Robin is right. You must have had reasons to divorce - to let her go, but the obsessiveness leads one to believe that you haven't let go. Maybe she is leading you on by saying that she still has feelings for you, which to some small degree may be true, but her actions say that she is looking for a new life. Let her go = set up boundaries like white manitou suggests. This situation as is, is TOXIC for you and will keep you in a bad mental place and prevent you from moving on. Perhaps from meeting the love of your life!

Amen, sez the choir to WM's and Robins post. Boundries are important. If you tell her the behaviour is unacceptable, and there is no risk,... why stop? In one of my meetings with my subs, I was trying to deal with people involved in a political war within our company. My comment to them after being all touchy-feely, was "choices result in consequences." They understood. Stop or else. You obviously have feelings invested in this lady, that we don't here on TBD. Me? I wouldn't stand for it period. But I'm not in love. You? What are your choices?

We were not married we had been engaged to be ....for five years...Go figure...There are still mattters that need to be settled and that is what I am trying to do, is to settle with all that we had and move on...I have no choice to to be in contact with her and work things out...and that is why it becomes very hard... she is dragging her feet and that what is becomming the problem... There is no more reasons to be dishonest with me ...its bad enough that she is dishonest with herself... hey, she went out and had a one night stand with someone ....not me it was over then and she moved on prior to that happening..If this is the kind of life you want to live ...then fine go for it .. and I know that there have been others since...and no i am not digging...it is just comming to me via her so called friends..and that will be mentiond to her too about how it comes my way .it will be some time down the road.Yeah, i am a fool but iam over that. I guess some people have to live in a lie in order to be happy. Its over its over...just say so and lets move on.I do not want to be a part of someone who is distroyeing themselfs and she knows it too. if you what more of the details e-mail me and I will
