I think the V/M greeting was one part jab at you and one part expression of your STBXW expressing her "independence". It's like when I caught my W wearing the same sexy bimbo outfit twice last week while picking up S11 at school. (I was picking up S10 myself.) I just know the boob job is around the corner once the D is final and she gets her settlement from me.
I swear, I don't think my W fully knows what to do with herself- perhaps your STBXW has the same problem. She just has the brain of a salmon with a single message message playing in an endless feedback loop: "It's just how I feel, It's just how I feel..."
Here's a question for you: Do you think your STBXW is wondering about some of the same things about you as you are about her? Just curious as I have often wondered the same myself in my own sitch.
