Hey Heavy... the narrative issue is always interesting. It was clear my W wanted to paint a narrative wherein she and I separated and, after a somewhat respectable period of time, she could introduce the OW as her new partner. I didn't let that happen with our mutual friends. And she's embarrassed and has distanced herself from nearly all of them.
However, it does seem as though the truth always eventually emerges. Your W could say whatever she wanted to say, but now the questions are out there. It's hard to be patient for justice to prevail - especially because mostly, it doesn't seem to. But when it comes to lying, yes, this is an interesting development. Eventually, the deception catches up to the deceiver.
Glad to see how detachment is helping you. Thanks for setting a good example.
