NOT about Elliott (I'm sure :P ) but see if you recognize yourself
Dear Abby,
My wife, to whom I was happily married for 20 years, has become infatuated and besotted with a certain North American poet, songwriter and entertainer. She talks about him constantly and sings his songs morning, noon and night. Every conversation somehow involves him. She listens exclusively to his music both in the car and at home, and constantly remarks how sexy, attractive and "brilliant" he is. She openly tells me she would have sex with him in a moment. She uses his picture as a screen-saver on her computer at work and is constatnly surfing for information about him.
At first, I tried joking about it, then became somewhat angry, and now have given up and stopped objecting. I feel this man has taken over my marriage. My wife says she loves me and adores me, and that I'm being silly, immature and jealous and have to get over it. Please help.
Hmmmm?

Oh my! With the exception of the sex part (I have a crush on him -- but I am happily married and faithful and E is much younger than me!), I'm on the borderline of becoming this person! Hope my husband isn't feeling like this. I guess I'd better show my hubby some more attention just so he knows E hasn't stolen my heart completely!

So what was the response?

Who me? :whistle:
(Except for the sex part--that is cold. I would never say that.) :no:

Her response
"You may be jealous, but the person who is acting silly and immature is your wife. It is one thing to enjoy, admire and be curious about an entertainer. But your wife appears to have become so fixated on this man that she has emotionally abandoned you. Her crack about "having sex with him in a moment" if she got the chance was uncalled for. As far as I'm concerned, your feelings are valid, and she has some fences to mend."

:clap: for her answer!
Yeah--the part about "having sex with him in a moment" was BAD. :no: What a meanie!

Lets see.....reading the hubby's description there, a few words come to mind:
infatuation
fantasy
disillusionment
There are probably MANY underlying issues with this couples relationship, and not just hers. But, since I am not licenced in that field, I am not going to elaborate on specifics! Lets just hope that this hubby's "concern" propels them in only positive directions......... :unsure:

My poor husband! At least I am still cooking meals and such, but Elliott has sure possessed us. ;(
lindagt - June 16, 2006 10:21 PM (GMT)
If anyone wants a reason to feel guilty, the letter came from Florida :D For the rest of us - it's guilt by association!

I actually thought it was probably either a Claymate husband or a Soul-Patrol husband.

Poor you! Please forgive your wife and Elliott. I think your wife knows that you love her , and she will be back to you soon! :)
I was crazy about Elliott these weeks , and now I know he is awesome but so far away from me. I have to cherish anyone around me. But I will love Elliott in my heart forever!
Don't give up your marriage!
