Thanks for the input. Please be assured that I did not argue with her. For the time being, I am agreeing with everything she is saying. So I did indeed back off (see, I'm learning!!!).
I did not bring up cable TV. I brought up sleepwalking as a stand-alone issue. The conversation lasted no more than 3 or 4 minutes.
And, finally, I am kinda snooping. Actually OM's wife is doing the snooping and feeding me info. Does that count???
OK, just kidding, of course it does. I am scaling back contact with her anyway, and will probably cut it off completely. It is not helping me with my goals, and is frequently a distraction. So I agree with you 100%. But I feel like a junkie... I just cannot stop. Is there a 12-step program for this???
