TICKS ME OFF!!

Why would he push you to be gone LONGER!??? That makes me so mad. And I have been there done there that being sick and ending up with the kids anyway. One time I left and napped at my mom's. ;\)

I think it might be time for a talk. Maybe a bit of a 'putting my foot down' talk? Saying that talking with OW is inappropriate, and he should know this since he hides it from you. One of the many books I read talked about 'family friends', someone who is friends with both spouses. The book said the friend is only a 'friend' if they are a 'friend of the marriage', meaning supportive of your marriage, friends to both of you. This woman isn't a friend of your marriage.
