"I don't think I treat the OMW as an enemy, but it seems my W does (naturally)."

You DO treat her like the enemy. I"m amazed you can't see it. You defend your W like a mindless sidekick and make the OMW seem like the bad one.

"It's so difficult because if I defend the OMW, my W sees it as me showing allegiance to some other woman."

Who cares?

"My W wants me to put her first. She wants me to show her that I am loyal to her, even during these times. I'm so conflicted when it comes to this."

So you are going to do whatever your W wants you to?

"I wanted to see that she was making calls /texts to verify that she was safe (where she is)."

Total BS. You just wanted to see if she was with the OM. You've said it yourself in the past. Just be honest.

"I said to her, "Do you see how twisted that sounds? OMW needs YOUR permission for her H to come home to her."

She replied, "Well obviously I need to do that, don't I."

It's as if she has this attitude of "I can please your H like you (OMW) never could." "

That was all mindreading on your part. You don't know why she did it. You really haven't learned much about human nature.
