Partly because my W is a MUCH better fighter than I am. I can NEVER think of the right thing to say in an argument until after it's over. If I HAVE to start a difficult conversation with her, I have to practice first. So any spontaneous response to that would have either come off as sarcastic or accusatory.
But the other reason is bc I know she's full of $hit. Whether she actually has a steady A partner or is just pretending to be single, the bottom line is that my actions over the past 2 months have scared her. She's expecting me to be a jerk or just leave her alone. I'm doing neither, and it's probably making her feel guilty and/or second guess her decision to exit the marriage. So she's trying to dissuade me. To make me think my efforts are a waste of time.
But like Vapo said, I don't believe a word of it. And I won't be deterred. I'm a married man. And I'm not going anywhere. I will keep fighting. If she wants to divorce me she can. It's really her loss and (if I may be so bold) she will regret it for the rest of her life. Meanwhile my pride will keep me company until I find someone else
