Mylife25,

Take a page out of FaithinMe's Plan A Handbook and assume -- no count on IT -- that your instincts are right and he was talking to OW when you called. Don't let it interfere with your Plan A and your great opprotunity coming up tomorrow.

Plan A is hard. Very hard. But it can have great results, too.

Just hang in there.

I know just how you feel. My WW made me so angry because of a very similar thing. So what I did was very natural and only acting on how I felt. I pulled back. Not easy, very hard but worth it. within a week she was asking friends about me all the time and wanting to know what was up.

Basically, one night when WW came over I just acted exactly how I felt which was that I didn't want to see her or talk to her. I was not hateful and I did not LB at all. I was just indifferent to her presence and showed that I didn't really care that she was there. I left her in the kitchen to get what she wanted and let herself out. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> Not for the weak hearted but worth it! For me it has been so much easier to be nice to WW than act like I don't care. That night I still cared but I was not happy and I let it show.

Hope this can help.

C.
