A new thread - My W's OW, the Predator

[DifRent]

V, I didn't consider the OW a friend, so I don't see it as a betrayal on her part. Just a cold, calculated, even sociopathic move. My W and I had literally only met her a few weeks prior to that camping trip. She was very busy trying to become friends with us both, though - came to dinner, invited us camping and for a movie night, really inserted herself uncomfortably into our lives like a third wheel until she found the moment to pounce. I have some friends who suggest she could have pounced on either one of us, but there was more vulnerability and opportunity with my W.

I have even suggested this theory to my W (against Wonka's good advice, of course). But suggesting it, combined with the suggestion that this woman has a past of which my W ought to beware (because if she's done this, what else has she done?) has planted a seed and, at least last week, got my W thinking and questioning - she's asked me a few times what I know that she doesn't. I just won't answer.

And yes, this affair is so out in the open, at least to me. She doesn't come home at all most nights now. Haven't seen my W since Friday afternoon - she's been with the OW all weekend and hosting open houses. I pray they've been having the kind of quality time together that begins to wear on an affair.

Got GAL plans today - brunch with friends, a mid-afternoon meetup, Mass tonight out of town followed a brewery visit. Looking forward to a pleasant day.
