Astimegoeson, I agree totally. Someone not in MLC, would try to hide it totally. Also, like your W, my H (now that he's living with OW), will not be anywhere I am. He will instant msg, but will not come see me or speak to me on the phone. Even though he walks 10' away from my office daily. Like your W, I think he thinks it makes it hurt less. The 'in my face', was definatly MLC, because it made me madder, and made me challenge him, which gave him a reason to say I was miserable, and say it was my problem, that caused him to look at her. He was enjoying the thrill, and driving me to it. He finally left a receipt on the counter, as if it he wanted me to find it. I really think he thought I'd divorce him on the spot. Guess the joke was on him. (on me too, because I would have though that's what I would have done). I'm very sorry, that your W is your STBXW.
