I see. I don't blame you, though. You should've seen how I reacted when the OW came out to the parking lot (the first time) and said she and my H were having an EA. That after my H had sworn he would never talk to the "crazy woman from tennis who had misunderstood his friendliness." I was a mess, and begged him to please tell me the truth from then on, bc I could never stay in our M if the EA became a PA. Well, look where that got me. I learned to control my reactions, which I think will help me in my future relationship.

Good answer you gave her at the zoo. Remember, she's trying to bring attention to herself, so don't make a fuss of anything she says about the OM or the IC.

Keep up the good work! You should feel proud of yourself.
