Hi Scrant, I think you did well. I had to smile at the 'shake her foundations' comment. Fact is all cheaters lie - and likely OM has lied too. But not Scrant. For your part, I wouldn't tell her that you will always try to do the right thing - just always try to do the right thing and over time that speaks strongest (think lighthouse here.)
Your W continues to want to cake eat and will push at boundaries. I think you did well to keep these in place. Whenever you have had exchanges like this, my advice would be to back right off - NC - and be busy with your own stuff. Leave W to cogitate on what she is losing.
You are spot on with your closing comments and if you are guided by these, you will succeed no matter what your W does/chooses. My only concern in your sitch is GAL and I sense a reluctance from you. But you saw what a boost you got from that big lunch on your W's B'day. Do tell us a little more about how you are pushing out your own boundaries with GAL plans.
Doing well Scrant & take care. It is early days yet my friend xx
