oooh this all sounds so familiar. And I'll tell ye, it doesn't get any better. Here I am, a full year and then some of XW being with OM and now engaged, 3 months post D, and yet out of nowhere last night XW has a temper tantrum over who I associate with. It's sad and funny all at the same time.
I too tried to stand strong for the M, but you can only endure so much. I set a timeline to stop the fight and that helped. Did I make it through unscaved? Not by any means, but if I didn't, who knows how bad things could have been.
But just know, even when it's all said and done, there will be tense moments still, but at least in my case, I was calm and collected and able to remind myself, there' no sense in beating this dead horse, and thus came out rather ok.
