Actually, I don't have any problem with this woman - so the "cherishing" part won't be hard, Soup. I don't even suspect her of so much as flirting with my H. I guess it just ticks me off that I can no longer be that strong, confident woman who wasn't threatened by my H's friendships with women - not because I'm any less strong or confident, but only because I'm no longer that naive about the nature of others and my H's potential for weakness.
D had a bad, teary evening last night, but doing better today. I'm going out of town with my H on business for two days, my mom will be staying with her. I'm a little nervous about her but know that 2 days won't make the difference one way or another and H and I can really use a couple of days to ourselves.
