Hopefully you weren't taking the comments as being a slam against how you handled things. My gosh, there is a high road, but your approach was HEAVENLY. Don't know how else to describe it.
I could not have been there.
(((Hugs)))
I agree. And I don't think you can ever regret taking the high road. I've been trying to do that, too, but it is SO HARD sometimes!!! Karen
You did so well not calling the troll a troll. I am not sure I could have held my tongue. As far as you offering to talk if she wanted...wow. Though that might actually be a good idea. I mean aren't there enough lies going around. May not hurt to clear some of that up.
Hugs, Kat

I respectfully disagree, Kat. This woman was obviously NOT a friend of your marriage, and all you're likely to get are more lies.
Not sure WHAT the right thing was. You DID take the better road, however. Thats for sure. I tend to agree with Puppy. You don't want to be her bud and you won't be able to believe what she says.
It was probably just her hormones talking. Let her deal with her sh*t herself.
Hope your day was good. I was trying to cleanse the house of wifer.
But in the end, I know she is still here even though she ain't

I agree with everybody!!!! For the short-term sitch, I think you did good in a surreal situation taking the high road. For the long term, yeah, probably of all the buddies you want to make, OW would not be a 1st (or 2nd or 3rd choice)! Karen

As far as I'm concerned they are both liars. Nothing has changed as far as they way I feel. I tried to take the high road for myself, but she and I will NEVER be friends. I would answer the phone if she called me though, why not? Know thine enemy...
I'm tired. I'm tired of being lonely and feeling like I don't matter. I'm tired of being the "good" parent. I'm tired of trying to do the "right" thing and getting kicked in the teeth for it. I'm tired of trying to take the high road. I just want to be left alone.
My H is systematically killing everything I have ever felt for him and I'm afraid by the time this is all said and done, I will have wasted all of this time fighting for something I don't even want anymore.

I know exactly what your saying. You and I are so much alike.
It's almost sceery!
I HATE the back and forth feelings. I tell myself the same exact thing.
And then in and instant, there I am. Thinking about what we had. I guess its normal.
Lately its been less about her, though. I may not be doing all the right things, but it makes me feel better about myself. I feel good. Actually great. Having fun.
All I know is that I DON'T want a relationship with ANYONE right now, but my girls.
And at the same time that I say that, I'm lonely as hell.
I said it before, I think I'm loco.

I think I like what you did. You took the high road. It may have served as an example for someone somewhere down the line, whether it is her, you H, her kids, your kids, or whoever. I'm proud to know you!

If that is true, then Be Afraid...Be VERY Afraid! Lol!
