"What might have been" is always more appealing than "what is." Reality can't compete with fantasy. This guy needs to focus on making his marriage better, with counseling if necessary.

OMG, I hope LW1 can get over this ridiculous obsession with Miss FaceBook. His wife deserves so much better than this. I have a brother like him. Can't seem to stop himself from pursuing absurd fantasies even at tremendous cost to himself and everyone around him. They NEVER work out the way he hopes. Foolish. Foolish.
