I know I look like the fool in my situation. The W certainly treats me that way sometimes.

I know the MIL has known about the A (and she even supports it, for her own selfish reasons.).

And I am pretty sure W's girlfriends at her workplace know about the A as well. How could they not? OM works with all of them as their co-worker. They all share their experiences with each other. If W and OM have been spending a lot of intimate time with each other, the others could not help but notice.

I know W paints a pretty unflattering picture of me with all of them. So I know I have been the fool in their eyes.

I am beginning to wonder if some of my neighbors are also recognizing what a fool I am being played for. The H of one neighbor has given me the impression he believes we are separated because he thinks I am the one who has been cheating. But his W seems to be recognizing that my W is up to something. I say nothing except by my W's current playbook, "We're separated, but we're trying to work things out." (yeah, sure -- whatever that means.)
