I'm not sure that punishing her does much for your situation.
You went down that road. Only once, but you've involved another in your life. You have known that she had someone hanging around. This should not be a stunning surprise.
Once again we're back to looking at the big picture. Yes, you needed to stand firm on not have OM around Abby. But I think you needed to do it and be done with it.
Giving her the money for the ticket has nothing to do with this incident.
The high road is the tougher road, but it's the one that gets you where you want to go.
Again, I'm sorry you had to deal with that. The OM is always a stab to the heart, no matter how old your sitch is.
Blessings,
Bill
