I think you're right. Especially when they are in a fog or
in some kind of mental distress. AND if there is an OM
then you can look at it like this:

It's that bliss of a new relationship. There's no drama,
everyone is nice as pie to each other, extra careful to
watch what they say because they are in the chase. There
is new sexual tension, flirting, emotional needs are getting
met, they are living out a fantasy etc. They can bitch about
you and the OM will validate all their feelings and feed
right into what they want.

They are back to life is good just like when you were dating
except this time it;s with someone else.

How long will this keep up? Who knows. I guess until the
regular drama starts coming back around into their new
relationship... and it will. It's just a matter of time. This
is where WE have a really hard time because we have
no patience and are scared that our spouse will fall in
love and forget all about us.
