WOW!!! You've gotten some great words of wisdom and support here.

I met X's GF a couple of yrs ago. It was hard, in spite of the fact that she was not OW. Hard, because she's about 20 yrs younger than X, great looking, very nice, etc. And.....my D23 actually likes her!!! YUCK!!! However, I also know that she has 3 young kids, struggles financially, is not too bright and is very controlling of X. What we see is not always what it seems. I wouldn't trade my life for X's EVER!!!!

Ya did good, Karen, and like SE said "you're the bomb!!!"
