If it is ok with you then I would like is to examine how these interactions work. I always need a little marinade time.
There a couple of sitches on the board who have had these obvious minx interactions, Pinks OW had these traits as an obvious choice.
This isn't seduction but grooming, not in the sense of its word use with regard to children but with respect to manipulation of adults. Bubbles is a classic groomer style abuser, she grooms for her own ends, often inauthentically as without it these groomers are inauthentic. She is using smoke and mirrors, gaslighting techniques to disguise it. This isn't seduction.
Yet there is one key difference between seduction and grooming: The Latin root of "seduce" means "to lead away," and includes synonyms like "allure," "beguile," "entice," "solicit," and "lure." Related words are "entrap," "bewitch," and "captivate." While not entirely so, most of those terms carry negative connotations. Certainly the Latin root, "to lead away," sounds harmful.
Definitions for "grooming" include the rather sterile idea of readying someone for a specific objective ; it has as synonyms such words as: "prep," "fix," and "ready." Related words like "indoctrinate," "educate," and "train," are also cited. These words imply "grooming" is something good. And that is the rub, it's hard to detect and you question yourself.
And yes she is grooming you too.
Can you move into observer mode on this and see your interactions with bubbles as if on a movie screen and you are watching her. For instance does she reward with physical touch? Faux. Open body language, and resonant beaming 'innocent' smiles? Head tilts and duping delight. These types of women are often quite sad from abuse, being 'daddy's' little girl, spoilt or groomed themselves which is how they learned the behaviour.
There are body language implications in this, these 'tricks' are easy to learn and there are ways that this can be mirrored back or copied for use with your WH.
You may not out Minx a Minx although we can consider out foxing her.
It's time to be fox not a lion or a faun.
Does this resonate? Is this something worth examining further?
