Thanks Seeking, SunnyD, and JTC - appreciate the input!
The mama bear in me wants to protect everyone from the calamity of this mess, but this is one lesson he's going to have to learn on his own the hard way. Regardless of what happens between us, THEIR relationship is doomed, as is her career. Given how badly he's treated ME for trying to stop the affair and keep our family together, I can just imagine the price SHE'S gonna pay when he finally realizes how she's been playing him to advance her career. It's gonna be ugly - particularly if it costs him his family.
I'm going to try and head that off if possible --
Looking back over the progress we've made in the last few weeks, I see he chases me most when I give him the nice neighbor treatment - friendly but distant. When do you notice your neighbors the most? When they're entertaining and doing fun things WITHOUT you. Nothing like looking over the fence at a great party you weren't invited to! So I'm working on a couple of fun, low-cost things for me and the kids to do this weekend to make him look over that fence.
Want to hear something funny? After deciding on this last night, I read WH's horoscope on Cainer.com this morning and it tells him to "expect the unexpected" this weekend, that magical things could come from unexpected sources. That guy just cracks me up some times!
And yes, JTC - the "Sunday Christian" act is appalling. One of the things I read on a list of issues WH wrote about me was that I wasn't a Biblical scholar, like OW. So she knows the Word - so what? What good is it if she doesn't follow it? Like being able to quote Shakespeare or Monty Python or Captain Kirk - interesting but useless?
