Default Resisted temptation but still annoyed

I spent the weekend helping my husband with his office move. He runs the IT department so I connected all of the internet/phone lines while he got the servers up and running.

The woman he had the EA with a year ago still works there and it was sooooooo tempting to leave that desk disconnected but then I thought it would give her a reason to go talk to him, so I didn't do it. I really wanted to leave a little mark to let her know I was there ...like put little mustaches on her pictures or just something fairly lame but in the end I took the high road and did nothing devious. The good news is that her desk could not be any further away from my husband's office so I was glad I went and saw the new digs.

What still bugs me 1 year later is that when he ended it with her and said he wanted to work on his marriage, she said 'what about one last hurrah?' Their fling lasted a few weeks and got as far as going to lunch together & kissing. Eeewww so I still have this urge to give her one last hurrah because her actions and especially that comment just make me feel that she has no respect for me as his wife. I guess it was good in the end because it made him realize she was not being a supportive friend to him because he thought this comment was off the wall ridiculous.

The best part of the day was when the president came to thank me and said 'you know, all the men around here just complain about their wives, but your husband always has the same response "I am very fortunate, my wife is not like that"'

i wanted to give the woman ,my hubby had a one night stand a right slap and confided to a good friend of mine.
but my friend said dont give her the satisfaction. to be honest my friend said, she probably has so little respect for herself, that what she did , well she has no thought for n e one or the consequences.
after my own little investigations - my friend ws right. the family were pretty much prostitues and druggies.
she was out to get laid and that was it.
i dont agree your hubby working with her, thats not a fair situation for you to be in, she wil probably try again. some women are very persistent and wont give in. i know some of these myself.
they dont care if man , married or not. and they never will.

Not only were you the bigger person but you know that your husband speaks well of you, even to the boss.

I think its great that you did the right thing and that your husband has so much respect and love for you. You are a great positive influence on this site and I have read many of your posts(to me as well) and I think doing the right thing always fosters a positive outcome.
