Unfortunately, this is true. One of the things Michelle says is that you have to find out what OM is doing for her that you are not. So you are faced with a difficulty here. BUT he may not be anything. They may just vent to each other, but it's weird he was ok with out of work contact when she was obviously married. There are two schools of thought and you have to decide what is best for you.....keep up with the no contact or contact on occasion to keep you in her head.....your call.
