Not sure I understand what you are getting at here...are you saying W is "putting on a show" for me to get me to react?
Sorry I wasn't clearer before. I'm saying that your W's behavior is similar to what people who are in MLC do naturally too. They are what I consider to be quite disrespectful, thoughtless, insensitive and selfish generally, and in some cases blatantly refusing to let go of the OW/OM. It sometimes requires a different tactic than the standard response - and us demanding respect just doesn't get anyone anywhere.
Each response is different, dependent upon the characters involved. So, either way there will be a lot of growth involved for you personally. Maybe your journey will include developing your assertive skills and self esteem.
