Well, that's very reassuring! Thank you. My concern, though, is how to act once OM has obviously influenced your kid? I assume I will always be the dominating male influence in her life, but how do you react when your daughter is happy because of something OM did? I'll admit, I suspect I will have significant jealousy here. I don't suspect I would feel bad at all if my WAW were to meet someone down the road who is not the OM. I would even be happy for her, or at least as happy as I could be, if she found a happy situation.

But NOT with this OM. I can't help but feel extreme hate for this guy due to all his pursuits of my wife. Yes, it is her fault for allowing it to happen, but I think this dude is truly the worst scum of the entire pond. So the same goes for my daughter. I could probably tolerate it just fine if some guy down the road met WAW and tried to do nice things for my daughter. But it sickens me that OM will. I suspect the best answer is just to be a gentleman about it and take it in stride, but I think that will be easier said than done where my daguhter is concerned. Anyone know what I'm in for here?
