I read Cary stuff only for the letters, I skip the advice... it is over the top and way too long winded.

This letter is clearly the writer's attempt at dragging him back in for one more round of this. If she was just in pain, she could have skipped the NatGeo stuff ALL together. But she wanted to see how many people she could get involved in this drama.

I thought her airing that she had an abortion was tacky too - it's a private decision and not really fair to air in public unless you both agree. I suspect she's insanely sad that she didn't keep the baby.

@Charlotte Rae's Web: She may be sad but there's no suspecting anything about her sanity: she is insane. No question about it.

I read this letter yesterday, and I hoped this would end up a blind item! She dropped way too many clues in her letter, she is so obviously hoping someone will figure it out. And probably hoping that it will get back to the dude and he will know that she still thinks of him without actually telling him herself.

Unfortunately, I haven't a clue who the person is.

Well, shit, if somebody had ditched me for Shamu the Whale I guess my self-esteem might be a tad tattered. But

12 years? Might be time for a cross-over episode with A&E Intervention. Candy Finnegan will put her straight. "Hon, he's a fish! OK, a mammal, but he SMELLS like a fish. You want THAT?"

IMHO Cary Tennis is a danger to humankind. I'm gonna try this advice gig:

You will find you are like a trapezoid, hovering above a moist divot in the terrain on your good island. Be that divot and then dig deep until you are less than that and can see all and nothing. Do not let this become your excuse to avoid your problem but rather find comfort here and learn to enjoy full immersion in the very thing you wish to escape.

All we need here is a reference to a hotdog and a hallway and we're entering grifter territory....

She needs some serious psychiatric help. She recognizes how over the top and out of proportion her feelings are to the situation and still can't do anything to stop them after 21 years? Not good.

@gladys_kravitz: an any transposition of numbers to make, and yet it still doesn't really help that letter writer's case, does it? Carrying a torch (who am i kidding, she's lugging around a big ol' bonfire) even for 12 years is still kind of crazypants.

I too have had a relationship with someone famous (don't ask, I won't tell) and, like it or not, it's tough to shake, in large part because ENVY becomes so overwhelming. Not only are you dealing with the usual heartbreak nonsense, you're also haunted by the "damn, I came so close to fame and fortune" stuff. Sounds ridiculous, I know, but it's a natural human response.

And I guarantee you that, in writing the letter to Cary, this woman wants so badly to be found out. It's her way of hoping she can grab just one last bit of reflected glory. And when you're a lonely middle aged nobody, even NatGeo seems glorious.

@ToniaAntiphus:

One of my friends has the opposite problem. She was hooking up with one of the guys on Gossip Girl and even after he was set up with a girlfriend from the show last fall, he still calls her regularly and they hook up. He just can't seem to let go. I feel bad for the guy because she clearly is only into him for sex and he wants more out of it.

This woman needs to get with today's specimen, the husband too creative to work. Tennis actually encouraged the wife to leave this time.

For me, the important question is why couldn't I have met this woman sometime during the few months after her lover left?

I went to National Geographic website and there's only 10 posters, which makes the new bride either the Afghan girl or an Emperor penguin (which would make them well matched indeed.)

What a psycho. "I can purchase a poster of his partner through the National Geographic bookstore if I so choose. There is nowhere to hide." Um, don't go to the National Geographic bookstore.

@freedc: SO insane! I just started reading it now and I'm going to stop reading her craziness after: "I proceeded to go into the kind of stunning grief that you see on TV after suicide bombers destroy children."

The NG guy totally dodged a bullet with this woman.
