Thank YOU Deb for nudging me back to life this weekend.
I guess I should have added a PS to my post that told of my H's throwing the 'gift'/'note' etc out in the trash.
He hasn't said anything about the e-mail OR the incident...which of course is HIS NORM...so I guess I'll have to settle for what may have been my Hs silent acceptance of MY position on this, by his chucking the 'evil intent of the 'gift' into the garbage where both IT and SHE belong.
This may even have taught him a tough lesson or two:
1) that the allies in his conspiracy to betray ME may also be willing to betray HIM (in their hope to further hurt me).
2) That there are consequences to his betrayal that even HE never would have expected....even 2 yrs later.
