This is signs of a woman that is a user and a manipulator
You know every once in while, especially of late, I look back and compare and contrast W before and after. To have known the person she was, with me and with so many other people for so many years, and then to see her behavior now -- the dichotomy is startling.
It would be similar to hearing that, say, Betty White was convicted of being the ring-leader in a dog-fighting operation. Just so unreal.
I think that's why it has been so much easier for people (friends, neighbors, family and associates) to assume that I was the unfaithful spouse in our situation, especially given no other information to contradict that impression.
(It also explains why I can write two completely different types of letters to the same person, some filed as "To the Unfaithful One", and others under "To My Beloved" -- it's practically schizophrenic.)
