Re:They told me so... AZtwinsDadEsq: With 100% certainty she didn't break it off and wanted to continue disrespecting you and was committed to maintaining her emotional infidelity to you by telling you that you couldn't attend functions because he might be present.
A cheating woman's greatest enemy is suitors who find out about each other. Kept apart, she can continue her appearance as an innocent, dutiful partner to each man showing her affections.
Anger probably wasn't the most useful of reactions though. Cold distance shown through the detached tone of your acknowledgement that her refusal to show you decency and respect requires you to tell her to consider the two of you forever in the past doesn't give her the "I'm scared of his abusive anger" response.
All the same, good show and good luck!
Re:They told me so... richmds: All great responses, sometimes you just need to hear another perspective or someone not in the mix to think straight.
