No worries on that front.. I only wanted to plant the seed of stepfather reality in H's mind. He'll stew on that for a while now. He takes in everything and keeps processing it over and over.
I'm not planning on dropping any more "dating" hints and mom won't either since she felt uncomfortable doing it the once. Besides, he's already accused me of cheating on him during the marriage so his paranoid mind is probably already imagining me doing it...
Example of his paranoia - SIL said that when I was nice to H on the phone, he felt like coming home and I understood what he was going through and said OW is moody and arguing with him all the time... So I offered to sell his huge (6ft long) empty fishtank currently in our garage and give him the money since I know he's broke right now. I said this on Sunday during the before-mentioned conversation.
Yesterday he sends me an email demanding that I not sell or give away any more "marital asserts" as he will be pursuing equal division in court for them.
I simply replied that it was an offer to sell it and give HIM the money but that I would not make an offer like that again to him and told him I have not given away or sold anything.
That email told me two things: he's still stewing over the conversation and he's unhappy that he has no clue what I am doing in the house and it's on his mind.
Both things mean I'm taking up real estate in his wacky brain right now, which is okay with me!
