She told me her friend is a psycho therapist and that she had said to H...'I bet your girlfriend is jealous...I bet if you dance with me, she will be here within 3 minutes !' H told her that ow was not jealous at all...(right ...) and so they started dancing..yep in 3 minutes the ow was there by H's side !!
This woman told me this story because she wanted me to feel good, and I admit, it kind of tickled my interest.

BUT !!!!!!!!!!!

I found out that it didn't matter to me, anymore. I was at peace inside, nothing hurt when she told me, nothing was shocked or excited. I just listened as if she was telling me a gossip about someone I know...

I am proud of you Cinders.

I don't want to change how you are handling news such as that because you are doing incredible. So when I add the following comments, I am making an observation only.

If the OW is the jealous type, this will eventually grow old for your H. Even if it doesn't, the OW doesn't trust their relationship. If they had love, she would not be jealous unless he has given her reason to be so. When the infatuation wears off (as I believe that these cases are infatuation and not love), she will become bored with H or H will become bored with her. I believe it is inevitable.
