I think there is a double standard. When you wind up serious with someone in the future, I'm convinced your X will freak out. I think they always like to think of us as their plan B or whatever,
Oh I KNOW! That's the whole reason why we haven't been speaking since July, she ass-u-me'd that my interaction with someone was of "seroius" nature and went on a tantrum fit when I said it was none of her business.
For the time being, it's not in my cards to even think of being serious with anyone and foremost the last thing on my mind. But, yes, I know when that person does come along, there will a sharp outcry from XW. Escepially when she gets a taste of her own medicine as to what it is like to have your children exposed to someone else.
And lastly, "I am not plan B" is something I've had to remind XW on, many of times to the exact wording.
