And for reminding me not to lose sight of my own values and principles by being dragged down to the level that stbx and OW operate at.
The doctrine of clean hands really does it for me. I am entitled to my anger but I HAVE to mind my actions. I get it, and I think this will help me to put the brake on next time I run into OW. I'm mentally rehearsing what I'm going to do - maybe a death stare and walk away. Or maybe a comment before i walk like "You know, bleaching your facial hair doesn't make it any less obvious". I'm really not that classy person that you think I am!
Only joking...
I get you, too, about the fear. I don't want to show that, and I'm getting to the point where I don't feel it.
I took your advice about his constant harping on his conditions for mediation and just said "I'm going to the scheduled meeting on Monday. What you do is up to you." And that is all I'm going to say.
Thank you again for your detailed and thoughtful posts to me. I'm getting so much out of these exchanges.
