I do have a rubber band on my wrist to snap for detachment NLT, actually an elastic hair band. I call it my "Snodderly band"
I think they need the clingy obnoxious OWs. It seems to be part of the process to "affair down" as it's been described. Look at TVS's H's OW. A friend of theirs, whom he used to make fun of as fat and obnoxious. My H has described his OW as a bitch, nothing special, pushy, a user. And they have had lots of fights. Besides being crazy from his MLC, my H is pretty unreasonable and nasty when he does not feel well from his lyme disease headaches, and does not like to be pushed. Although he tolerates it better from her than anyone else I must say. When do you expect your H to come by again and see the roses? If nothing else, you have some lovely flowers to cheer you up!
I'd love to read a thread like that Bea, of all the funny things. Although it means a lot more when it's your friend's MLCer saying something off the wall!
