Snodderly, thank you for your post.

I also saw your reply to Heather and I with regard to the OW. And what you say makes sense. I never thought that they might be embarrassed that things did not work out.

I did not assume that once they broke up, that I would be the automatic next choice but I did know that I would be easier if I knew they were no longer together. Of course, even xSO said that if it did not work out with this one, there would be someone else.

Interesting, all the same. Still, I would not ming knowing the "truth" of their relationship. But I know that I will not get it from him!
