Thanks I needed that.....breathing deeply as instructed.

I keep getting sucked into these interactions he has going on!!.
You are so right about separating the issues. He would do exactly as you described, blame me and take the focus off where it truely belongs.
I know they are not having an affair now but, but they were seriously flirting with it at one point.

Also big issue for me is this suit is going to go on for quite a while and she is doing everything she can to endear herself to him!!! It is maddening.
I am trying to look at this as though
"She can have him! Welcome to him, he is not such a prize!! Extremely difficult to live with and she wouldn't know what she was getting herself in for!!"

All true, but never the less it still hurts.
thanks again,
Trish
