"t/j" = ?
Could someone share that secret?
Thanks in advance.
I trust you is a better compliment than I love you, because you may not trust the person you love, but you can always love the person you trust. - UnknownRelationships are like sharing a book, it doesn't work if you're not on the same page.

Thread Jack.
It's like hijacking the thread with a tangent-thought, leading it away from the original intent.

TT = Trickle Truth
Along with t/j, it took me forever to figure out what TT was.
Of course, then I realized, I already was intimately familiar.

HB = Hysterical Bonding
Sex with your WS after D-Day, often described as the best sex you ever had together. There are several theories as to why it happens. Maybe someone will expand on this.

I divorced him because I didn't like his girlfriend.

Apologies. Just re-read instructions. These definitions were already in the healing library.
WW = Wayward Wife (not just "wayward")
fWW = Former Wayward Wife (not to be confused with XWW = Ex Wayward Wife)
fWH = Former Wayward Husband (not to be confused with XWH = Ex Wayward Husband)
COW = does it stand for Coworker Other Woman or for Crazy Other Woman?
COM = Child of Marriage (the child/ren between the wife and husband, not the OP)
Question: in the HL, it says that MOP = maybe other person. I always thought it stood for "married other person"? Has the definition changed, or am I just behind?

Thank you.
