LOL, Creed, I feel satisfied right along with you....
It's funny how we "somehow" obtain information about the xh's relationship which confirms their relationship isn't what we thought it was in the beginning. How they end up in a "fatal" attraction sort of relationship (these women really hang on for dear life, and "winning" is crucial, as if their whole life depended upon it) as if it's their self worth depends on them coming out on top, or they would become nothing if these men choose to come home, or leave them, so it seems to me.
All the time, we improve, learn and grow, become stronger. Oh sure, we struggle from time to time, both financially and emotionally, but in the long term, we become what we were meant to be.
Twinkie was in the store to check out her competition, for she has been compared to you or has compared herself to you, all along, and realizes she will never be able to fill your shoes. She fears you, yet you have done nothing.... As we used to wonder what "she" had that drew the ex's out of our home. It seems it was nothing more than the ability to allow the xh's to feel better about themselves by rescuing this poor damsel in distress, when in fact it was they, themselves they should have been rescuing..... as we are told in the beginning, it IS all about them.
For me, hearing that Dick still chooses to talk about me to a perfect stranger (even negatively) when he has the opportunity to speak about how "great" his life is, or how wonderful a father he is, tells me, Dick and Janes relationship is and always has been a 3 party romance, as so it seems it is with Twinkie and your xh.
Honey, Twinkie needs reassurance that your xh isn't coming back to you, so of course she's gonna be checkin' you out!
Whether you realize it or not, you have been interferring with their relationship, but you didn't have to do a thing, just being the magnificient, wonderful person you are, has been enough!
Take care of you,
