I'm just not sure how to act tonight when I go to the house and she is there. If I act as normal as I can, then I at least don't blow my cover. If I act standoff-ish, it might push her away. But as I've read, it isn't necessarily so much having her be "nice" to me in the near term, but having respect for me as a man in the long term. I really feel a major breach of trust and this is just unacceptable.

Act as if? Or draw my line?

All the progress I have made on myself doesn't mean I have to accept all types of behavior, yet the countless stories on here about not acknowledging this type of behavior and the subsequent advice to act as though it has no impact on me. It isn't so much the OM, which was a terrible surprise, but the deceit about it.

*sigh*
